About this map

Kingsley serves as the primary hub in this portion of Grand Traverse County, where a grid of local roads like Fenton Rd and Walton Rd connects small settlements and family farmsteads. The landscape is dotted with small water bodies and wetlands, including Knights Pond, Wistrand Lake, and the expansive Weidenhamer Swamp to the north. These features, along with Big Marsh, highlight the glacial topography characteristic of this Michigan region.

Genealogists will find significant value in the numerous burial sites recorded, such as Evergreen Cem, Fowler Cem, and the uniquely named Jenny Grave near Swainston Cem. To the south, the village of Summit City and the small station at Baxter mark the transition toward the Wexford County line. The map captures a contemporary look at these rural communities, preserving the location of local landmarks like Seegmiller Cem and the winding course of Kingsley Cr.
