About this map

Lake Missaukee serves as the central focal point of this northern Michigan landscape, with the town of Lake City situated along its eastern shore. This 1983 provisional survey captures the area’s character as a recreational and civic hub within Missaukee County, evidenced by the cluster of local landmarks like Miltner Park, the Missaukee Golf Course, and Home Acres Airport. The surrounding terrain is heavily influenced by the Pere Marquette State Forest, which blankets the northern and eastern portions of the quadrangle.

Local social and religious life is marked by several community anchors, including the Christian Reformed Ch, St Johns Ch, and a Kingdom Hall. The map detail traces the transition from the concentrated street grid of the town to the rural drainage of Mosquito Creek and Butterfield Creek, eventually leading south toward the Clam River. These watercourses, along with numerous smaller bodies like Goose Lake and Blind Lake, define the local topography and historical land use patterns of Richland, Caldwell, and Reeder townships.
