2019 Map of Manton

About this map

Manton sits at the intersection of local history and modern transit, serving as a focal point for Wexford County commerce and community. The landscape is defined by its water and woods, with the northern boundary traced by the winding Manistee River and the southern reaches protected within the Manistee National Forest. This 2019 survey documents a network of rural cemeteries including Liberty Cem, Greenwood Cem, and Fairview Cem, which provide essential touchstones for genealogical research in the area. The terrain is dotted with significant water bodies like Billings Lake, Buttermilk Lake, and the Mill Pond, illustrating the importance of natural hydrology to the region's development. Long-distance recreation is also prominent, with the N Country National Scenic Trail and the Shore to Shore Trail traversing the timbered sections of the quadrangle.
