About this map

Higgins Lake dominates this northern Michigan landscape, providing a central focus for the surrounding lakeside developments and vacation communities. Along the western shore, the residential street grid of Lyon Manor includes named thoroughfares such as Columbia St and Chickasaw St, while prominent geographic markers like Old Point Comfort, Detroit Point, and Flag Point define the coastline. To the north, the Pioneer Ski Hill suggests the area's role as a seasonal recreational hub.

Moving inland, the map captures the transition from lakeside activity to the more rural character of Markey and Sharps Corners. Significant genealogical landmarks include the Gerrish Township Cem and Markey Cem, positioned near the edges of developed tracks and the extensive Long Crossway Swamp. The intricate network of waterways is completed by the passage of The Cut connecting to Marl Lake, illustrating a complex local hydrology that has shaped regional settlement patterns and road placements like Lansing Rd.
