About this map

Jacks Landing serves as a focal point for this section of Grand Traverse County, where the Boardman River and S Br Boardman River define the local drainage patterns. The landscape is heavily characterized by its dense network of glacial lakes, including Spider Lake, Rennie Lake, and Muncie Lake, many of which are tucked within the northern reaches of the Manistee National Forest.

This 2017 survey shows a region deeply committed to recreational use and conservation, evidenced by the extensive Vasa Pathway and the Shore to Shore Trail winding through the timber. Beyond the water and woods, the map records singular landmarks like the Northrup Grave near the southern boundary and the distinctive bend of Devils Elbow along the shoreline, providing essential data for genealogists and local historians documenting the human footprint in this lake-rich environment.
