2017 Map of Indian River

About this map

Indian River and the neighboring community of Topinabee serve as the focal points of this 2017 survey, which highlights the inland waterway and lakeshore developments of northern Michigan. The landscape is defined by the massive expanse of Mullett Lake and the southeastern corner of Burt Lake, connected by the winding Indian River. This connectivity shaped the area's growth as a recreational and transit hub, visible in the cluster of waterfront settlements like Giauque Beach, Miami Beach, and Royal Oak Beach. Away from the shore, the terrain rises toward Griswold Mtn and Blats Hill, while several major tributaries including the Pigeon River and Sturgeon River drain the surrounding wetlands. Local history is anchored by the Koehler Cem and Oak Hill Cem, alongside modern infrastructure like the Calvin Campbell Municipal Airport.
