2019 Map of McMillan

About this map

The Tahquamenon River flows across the northern reaches of this Luce County landscape, meandering through a series of wetlands and sloughs such as Kaketon Slough. To the south, the terrain transitions into a more settled region defined by the large waters of North Manistique Lake and Manistique Lake. This 2019 survey documents the rural character of the area around McMillan and Helmer, where the road network follows established township lines. Genealogists and local historians will find several burial sites including Columbus Township Cem near the town center, and both the East Lakefield Cem and Old East Lakefield Cem further south. The map illustrates the hydrological connection between various water bodies like McCormick Lake, Locke Lake, and East Lake, providing a clear record of the modern shoreline and drainage patterns in this part of Michigan's Upper Peninsula.
