About this map

Boardman River meanders through the central woodlands of Grand Traverse County, anchoring a landscape defined by its transition from the shores of Grand Traverse Bay to the inland timberlands of the Fife Lake State Forest. The mid-century settlement pattern is visible through a high density of rural schoolhouses, many already marked as abandoned, such as Birmley Sch and Canada Sch, reflecting the consolidation of local education districts.
