2014 Map of Jennings

About this map

Jennings serves as the central hub of this northern Michigan landscape, positioned along the shores of Crooked Lake on the border between Wexford and Missaukee Counties. The map reveals a high density of water bodies, from the larger Lake Missaukee and Lake Sapphire in the east to a cluster of smaller lakes like Whitlock Lake, Clear Lake, and Shallow Lake to the north. A legacy of the region's transport history is visible in the alignment of Old RR Rd, which suggests the route of a former rail line that once served the local timber or agricultural economy. The drainage of the Clam River and Gunnerson Cr defines the southern terrain, while genealogists will find specific points of interest in the Old Jennings Cem and New Jennings Cem, which anchor the community's history to the land.
