About this map

The Boardman River winds through this northern Michigan landscape, anchoring a region defined by its glacial lakes and suburban expansion south of Traverse City. The southern portion of the map centers on the small community of Mayfield, where the Mayfield Post Office and Koch Cemetery provide critical touchpoints for local family history. This area serves as a transition between the industrial and aviation hubs near Cherry Capital Airport and the dense recreational clusters found around Arbutus Lake and Spider Lake.

A network of local educational landmarks, including Birmley School, Black School, and Potter School, illustrates the historical distribution of rural districts even as modern development reaches toward Fivemile Corner. The map also details significant public spaces, from the Traverse City State Park Campground on the shores of Lake Michigan to the Arbutus Number Four State Forest Campground, highlighting the enduring importance of the timber and tourism industries in Grand Traverse County.
