About this map

Barryton anchors the northeastern corner of this Mecosta County landscape, situated where the Chippewa River meets its western branch. The terrain is defined by a dense concentration of glacial lakes and wetlands, particularly within the Martiny Lake area. Notable water bodies such as Big Evans Lake, Tubbs Lake, and Halfmoon Lake create a complex hydrographic pattern across the northern half of the quadrangle.

For researchers tracing local lineage, the map identifies several burial sites including Dye Cem, Flake Cem, and Mt Hope Cem. The road network follows a strict sectional grid, with major corridors like 19 Mile Rd and Garfield Rd connecting dispersed rural homesteads. The southern portion of the map is dominated by the winding course of the E Br Little Muskegon River, which drains the various lakes such as Dye Lake and Lake Six.
