About this map

Lake Michigan defines the western edge of this Emmet County landscape, where the shoreline is marked by distinctive coastal features like Devils Elbow and Horseshoe Bend. The interior terrain rises toward Island View Hill, supporting a network of local roads such as Chippewa Trl and Ottawa Trl that reflect the area's cultural history.

Settlement patterns are concentrated near the coast at Good Hart and Middle Village, both home to notable sites for genealogists including the Saint Ignatius Catholic Church/Cem. Further inland, the map details small communities like Stutsmanville and several isolated burial grounds, such as Readmond Township Cem and Friendship Township Cem, which serve as primary markers of the rural townships. The presence of Morris Spring and numerous unnamed creeks highlights the hydrology of this forested lakefront region.
