2014 Map of Lyon Manor

About this map

Higgins Lake dominates this northern Michigan landscape, providing a detailed look at the residential development and natural hydrology of Roscommon County in the early 21st century. The map highlights the established community of Lyon Manor and the smaller enclave at Sharps Corners, illustrating the concentration of local life along the southwestern shores. Significant local landmarks such as the Gerrish Township Cem and Markey Cem offer touchpoints for genealogists and local historians tracking family roots in the area. The water system is particularly intricate, showing the connection between lakes via The Cut, which flows through Marl Lake toward the northern reaches of Houghton Lake. Shoreline features like Old Point Comfort, Detroit Point, and Flag Point delineate the varied topography of the lakefront, while Flynn Island sits as a prominent landmark within the basin.
