2014 Map of Karlin

About this map

Green Lake and Duck Lake dominate the northern landscape of this region where the borders of Grand Traverse, Benzie, Manistee, and Wexford counties converge. The settlement of Karlin serves as a central hub, while smaller locales like Pavlovic Corner and Nessen City anchor the surrounding rural tracts. The terrain transitions from the water-rich north to the prominent elevation of the Twin Mountains further south. Local history is deeply etched into the land through sites like the De Lorme Cem and the Grant Methodist Cem. The winding course of the Betsie River and its various tributaries, including Grass Lake Creek and Pickerel Creek, weave through a network of secondary roads and trails that define the area's mid-20th-century development and land use patterns.
