2011 Map of Le Roy

About this map

The villages of Le Roy and Tustin anchor this Osceola County landscape, where the legacy of early 20th-century logging and rail has transitioned into a region of recreational lakes and local industry. The White Pine Trl, following a former rail corridor, bisects the map vertically, connecting the two primary settlements. To the east, the Mineral Springs Oil Field indicates the subsurface resource extraction that characterizes parts of Northern Michigan. The topography is defined by numerous kettle lakes and glacial drainages, including the clusters of Little Hogback Lake, McCoy Lake, and Rose Lake. Local genealogy is well-represented through a high density of rural burial grounds, including Burdell Township Cemetery, Maple Hill Cemetery, and the Sherman Township Cemetery in the northeast corner. Small community institutions like Noggle School and Shields School provide a look at the distributed settlement pattern of the surrounding townships during this period.
