About this map

The Manistee River winds through the southern reaches of this landscape, its flow managed by the Tippy Dam and expanding into the broad Tippy Dam Pond. This portion of the Manistee National Forest is defined by a mix of recreational infrastructure and historical jurisdictional lines, including the Old Indian Treaty Boundary that cuts across the central terrain.

Public land management is evident through the designated National Forest Boundary and established facilities like the Campground and Boat Ramp near the water's edge. To the north, the small settlement of Marilla sits near the corner of its namesake township, while the topography transitions into deeper cuts like Sweets Ravine. The presence of a Microwave Tower and Substation indicates the mid-century infrastructure supporting this corner of Manistee County.
