2017 Map of Kingsley

About this map

Kingsley and Summit City anchor this portion of Grand Traverse County, where the transition from organized village streets to sprawling wetlands is clearly defined. The terrain is characterized by numerous water features, including the expansive Weidenhamer Swamp in the north and the Big Marsh toward the south. For genealogists and local historians, the area is notable for its numerous burial sites scattered across the township, such as Barnum Cem, Evergreen Cem, and the more isolated Jenny Grave near the eastern boundary. The mapping of Kingsley Cr and Swainston Cr illustrates the drainage patterns through these rural highlands, while the southern edge of the sheet follows the county line toward Baxter, marking the interface with Wexford County.
