About this map

Marlborough and Lilley sit within the timbered expanses of the Manistee National Forest, where the landscape is defined by an intricate network of glacial lakes and river systems. The northern portion of the map is dominated by the Pere Marquette Wild and Scenic River and its tributaries, including Sanborn Creek and the Middle Branch Pere Marquette River. These waterways, alongside bodies like Pettibone Lake and Lilley Lake, illustrate the region's character as a hub for watershed conservation and recreation.

Industrial and community roots are evidenced by the Railroad passing through Bitely and the presence of several local burial grounds, such as Oaklawn Cem and Lilley Cem. Further north, the Baldwin Municipal Airport serves as a modern waypoint. The transition between Lake Co and Newaygo Co divides the map, showing a persistent grid of forest roads like 18 Mile Rd and Roosevelt Rd that provide access to this dense woodland interior.
