About this map

The industrial and maritime hub of Manistee dominates the northern shoreline of Manistee Lake, where the Manistee River flows into Lake Michigan. This 1982 survey illustrates a complex landscape of coastal industry and residential expansion, featuring the Chesapeake and Ohio RR and the Manistee and Northeastern RR serving the lakefront. Communities like East Lake, Filer City, and Stronach ring the water, supporting the local economy alongside facilities such as the Sewage Treatment Plant and Water Plant.

Beyond the urban center, the map transitions into the Manistee National Forest, where smaller water bodies like Canfield Lake and Lake Winnisgene dot the terrain. Genealogists can locate several key sites, including Mt Carmel Cem, Long Lake Cem, and the Guardian Angel Sch. Rural routes like the Old Indian Trail and Fox Farm Road lead south toward the Manistee and Mason County line, passing the small settlement of Gurney near Gurney Creek.
