About this map

Marilla and the surrounding woodlands of the Dickson Manistee National Forest define this landscape in the late 1980s. The map captures the complex hydrology of the region, where the Manistee River winds through the southern terrain toward the engineering of Tippy Dam and the expansive Tippy Dam Pond. Along the river, features like Leitch Bayou provide specific points of interest for local history and river navigation.

Significant cultural markers are present, most notably the Old Indian Treaty Boundary which cuts across the central forest, reflecting the historical division of the land. Small clearings like Maple Grove contrast with the dense national forest, while the settlement at Brethren sits near the western edge. Topographical details such as Sweets Ravine and Dickson Lake illustrate the varied relief that characterizes this part of Manistee County.
