About this map

Luther serves as the primary hub of this Lake County landscape, situated at a bend in the Little Manistee River. During the late 1980s, this area remained characterized by dense forest cover and expansive wetlands, including the Baldwin-Luther Swamp and Baylor Swamp. The map documents a territory defined by conservation and recreation, split between the Manistee National Forest and the Pere Marquette State Forest.

Evidence of historical logging and transit is preserved in the form of the Beebe Grade and numerous forest tracks. Local life is anchored by small settlements like Sellers and Skookum, along with several water bodies such as Ahmikwam Lake, Big Spring Lake, and Rockwell Lake. The survey also notes the location of a village Cem and a Sand Pit, providing essential details for those researching local family history or land use patterns in Dover and Ellsworth townships.
