2023 Map of Meads Landing

About this map

Meads Landing and Michelson sit at the northern and southern edges of this hydraulic network where the Muskegon River flows toward North Bay Houghton Lake. This modern survey highlights a complex wetland landscape defined by the Dead Stream Swamp and Heidemann Marsh. The transition from the high-density residential developments around Higgins Lake in the north to the dense, marshy corridors of Deer Farm Creek and Haymarsh Creek illustrates the preservation of central Michigan's water-rich interior. Local history is anchored by the Heidemann Cem and Oakwood Cem, while the inclusion of the West Higgins Trl and Snowmobile Trl marks the area's contemporary role as a destination for outdoor recreation.
