About this map

The village of Mecosta and the settlement of Remus anchor this survey of Wheatland and Morton Townships during the early twenty-first century. The landscape is defined by the headwaters of the E Br Little Muskegon River in the northwest and the south-flowing Pine River in the east. Numerous small glacial lakes dot the terrain, including Pickerel Lake, Schoner Lake, and the cluster containing Third Lake and Fourth Lake.

Rural intersections such as Halls Corner and the growing resort community of Canadian Lakes illustrate the evolving settlement patterns of Mecosta County. Genealogists will find several burial grounds documented across the townships, including Morgan Cem, Saint Michael Cem, Morton Cem, and Wamboldt Cem. The map provides a detailed view of the section-line road network, ranging from 10 Mile Rd down to Monroe Rd, which has historically structured the agricultural and residential development of this central Michigan region.
