About this map

Silver Lake and Long Lake dominate this Grand Traverse County landscape, where the waters of Bass Lake and Duck Lake are separated by the dense tracts of the Pere Marquette State Forest. The map captures a period of transition as the industrial and transport infrastructure of the Michigan Northern railroad corridor meets the expanding residential and recreational footprints around Traverse City.

Genealogists and local historians can trace the community's spiritual and civic roots through landmarks like Maple Grove Cem, Mount Gardens Cem, and the Carmelite Monastery near Brookside. Small settlements like Grawn and Chums Corner serve as focal points along the highway network, while the southern reaches dissolve into the Weldenhamer Swamp and the winding course of the Boardman River feeding into Keystone Pond.
