2019 Map of Mayfield

About this map

The Boardman River corridor defines the geography of this Grand Traverse County region, winding from the south through Mayfield toward its outlet at Boardman Lake. In the northern reaches, the urban expansion of Traverse City meets the shoreline of Lake Michigan at East Arm Grand Traverse Bay. This map documents a landscape of transition where aviation infrastructure at Cherry Capital Airport and the Great Lakes Central rail line intersect with a network of inland waters. To the southeast, a dense cluster of lakes including Arbutus Lake, Chandler Lake, and High Lake provides a look at the glacial topography of the area. Genealogists and local historians will find the Koch Cem and the small settlement at Fivemile Corner as useful points of reference for tracing family connections in the township.
