About this map

Harlan and Bagnall sit at the intersection of rural township roads and the Manistee National Forest on this 2014 survey. The map details a landscape defined by the transition from agricultural fields to the densely wooded tracts of the national forest, particularly in the southwestern reaches. The southern boundary is dominated by the waters of Hodenpyl Dam Pond, where the Manistee River is harnessed, creating a distinct riparian environment near Cripple Creek.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the distribution of small burial grounds across the quadrangle, including the Crowell Family Cemetery, Harlan Cemetery, and Minor Cemetery. The terrain is marked by subtle drainages like First Creek and Fletcher Creek, alongside interestingly named features like Sneaky Valley. This edition documents the modern road network, from Cadillac Highway to numerous numbered section roads, providing a precise look at the land division in this part of northern Michigan.
