1983 Map of Lake Ann

About this map

The Pere Marquette State Forest dominates the central portion of this 1983 survey, where the Platte River winds through a dense network of glacial lakes. In the north, the village of Lake Ann sits between its namesake water body and smaller features like Bryan Lake. Further south, the landscape transitions into the established educational and cultural hub of Interlochen, home to the Interlochen Center for the Arts and Interlochen State Park. The map documents a rural transition zone along the Benzie and Grand Traverse county line, where traditional homesteading sites like Inland Corners and Bendon are marked by their local cemeteries and country churches. Genealogists can locate several burial grounds, including the Old Inland Cem and Mt Hope Cem, while the road network of Fewins Road and Old Grade Road reveals the region's historical transit patterns between these small woodland communities.
