2014 Map of Michillinda

About this map

Lake Michigan dominates the western half of this coastal survey, where the shoreline meets the wooded residential areas of Fruitland Township. The small settlements of Wabaningo, Sylvan Beach, and Michillinda are established along the narrow strip of land separating the great lake from inland waters. This geography creates a unique hydrographic pattern where White Lake and Duck Lake sit nearly parallel to the coast, providing protected harbors and recreational frontage. Local history is anchored by the Duck Lake Cem located near Michillinda, while the road network, including Scenic Dr and Michillinda Rd, reveals the transition from seasonal cottages to permanent coastal development. The drainage of Strawberry Cr and the presence of Muskrat Lake further highlight the low-lying, water-defined nature of this Muskegon County landscape.
