2014 Map of Mayfield

About this map

Traverse City occupies the northern reaches of this landscape, situated near the East Arm Grand Traverse Bay and Boardman Lake. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the Boardman River, which flows through a chain of impoundments and natural basins including Sabin Pond, Keystone Pond, and the expansive Brown Bridge Pond. This 2014 survey illustrates a geography of glacial lakes and river valleys, where aviation infrastructure at Cherry Capital Airport transitions into the lake-strewn lands of the south. Farther south, the small community of Mayfield and the Koch Cem mark the area's older rural settlements. The eastern portion of the map is a dense network of water bodies, notably Arbutus Lake, Spider Lake, and High Lake, highlighting the region's importance as a freshwater hub.
