About this map

Martiny Lake and its surrounding wetlands form a complex aquatic landscape in this central Michigan survey, where dozens of interconnected basins like Tubbs Lake, Big Evans Lake, and Diamond Lake dominate the terrain. These water bodies are fed by the West Branch Chippewa River and Helmer Creek, eventually joining the main Chippewa River near Barryton. The village of Barryton serves as a local hub in the northeast corner, complete with the Barryton Post Office.

To the south, the village of Mecosta anchors the map near Mount Hope Cemetery. The landscape is etched with a precise grid of rural roads, including 19 Mile Rd and Quarterline Rd, which provide access to family-associated sites such as Flake Cemetery and Dye Cemetery. Recreation is a clear priority in the region, evidenced by the Tubbs Lake State Forest Campground and Blue Gill Lake Campground near Bluegill Lake.
