2012 Map of Harlan

About this map

Harlan and Bagnall anchor this northern Michigan landscape in Cleon Township, where the road network follows a rigid grid interrupted by the winding waters of Fletcher Creek and First Creek. For genealogists and local historians, several small burial grounds are identified across the township, including the Harlan Cemetery, the Crowell Family Cemetery, and Minor Cemetery. The southern portion of the map is defined by the larger waters of the Hodenpyl Dam Pond, where the terrain transitions into more recreation-focused areas like Mesick RV Park and the low-lying Sneaky Valley. This 2012 survey illustrates how modern development and seasonal recreation coexist with older settlement patterns and long-standing family landholdings in Manistee County.
