2017 Map of Mecosta

About this map

Mecosta and Remus serve as the primary hubs of this central Michigan landscape, which is defined by a dense network of sectional roads and glacial water bodies. The village of Mecosta is positioned along the Little Muskegon River in the northwest, while the community of Remus sits to the east, anchored by the intersection of 9 Mile Rd and local connectors. This 2017 survey details a transition from the structured township grids of Wheatland and Morton to the more modern, winding development patterns seen at Canadian Lakes. Genealogists will find several burial sites preserved across the countryside, including Saint Michael Cem near Pickerel Lake and Wamboldt Cem further south. The hydrography of the region is notably diverse, featuring the eastern flow of the Pine River and a string of smaller lakes such as Schoner Lake, Harris Lake, and the Black Lakes.
