2019 Map of Manistee

About this map

The industrial and maritime hub of Manistee centers this map where the Manistee River flows from Manistee Lake into the vast expanse of Lake Michigan. The settlement pattern reflects a history of milling and shipping, with established communities like Filer City, Stronach, and East Lake ringing the inland lake. Further south, the landscape transitions from the urban grid and the Manistee County Courthouse to the protected woodlands of the Manistee National Forest, where smaller water bodies like King Lake and Shingle Mill Lake dot the terrain. Genealogists will find three distinct burial grounds: Mount Carmel Cem, Trinity Cem, and the more remote Long Lake Cem near the Manistee Co Mason Co line. The survey captures the contrast between the dense street network of the port city and the wetlands of Hornkohl Swamp and Gurney Creek to the southeast.
