About this map

Mackinaw State Forest covers a significant portion of this terrain in northern Emmet County, where the landscape is defined by the expansive Larks Lake and its surrounding Larks Lake Swamp. The map details a rural network of townships including Readmond, Center, Friendship, and Pleasant View. Settlement patterns are concentrated at small junctions such as Maple Tree Corners, Marsh Corner, and the northern edge of Cross Village.

Local history is well-preserved through the inclusion of several community landmarks, including the St Nicholas Ch and Townhall. Genealogical researchers will find value in the precise locations of the St Nicholas Com, Greenwood Cem, Starr Cem, and Pleasant View Cem. The presence of Camp Ralston, identified as a corrections camp, provides a specific look at mid-century institutional land use within the state forest boundaries near the Maple River.
