About this map

The Muskegon River and its northern tributaries define the landscape of eastern Missaukee County in this 2014 survey. Small settlements and local cemeteries anchor the rural grid, including the hamlet of Merritt and the community of Butterfield. The northern reaches are shaped by the winding West Branch Muskegon River as it passes near the Star City area.

Local history and genealogy are preserved through the identification of the Star City Cem and the Butterfield Cem, providing vital clues for tracing family roots in this part of Michigan. The terrain transitions from the low-lying wetlands of Butterfield Cr to the more structured road network surrounding E Houghton Lake Rd. The map offers a precise view of the rural infrastructure, from the sectional boundaries of T23N and T22N to the local roads that connect these long-standing communities.
