About this map

Larks Lake and its surrounding wetlands dominate this pocket of Emmet County, where the landscape is defined by the Larks Lake Swamp and the headwaters of the West Branch Maple River. The settlement of Pleasant View sits in the southern portion of the sheet, serving as a focal point for local history along with several scattered burial grounds including Greenwood Cem, Starr Cem, and Saint Nichols Cem.

Modern recreation and preservation are evident through the path of the North Country National Scenic Trl, which winds across the terrain, passing through both low-lying marshlands like Pleasant View Swamp and higher ground near Mount Pisage. The map also details a network of named rural roads, such as Division Rd and Larks Lake Rd, that connect the small residential clusters and agricultural plots typical of this northern Michigan region.
