About this map

Lake Huron defines the northern coastline of this Presque Isle County landscape, where the settlement of Manitou Beach sits near the prominent landmark of Forty Mile Point. The interior is characterized by the agricultural and township history of Moltke, a community rooted in the early Lutheran heritage of the region. This is evidenced by the presence of the Moltke Township Cem, Immanuel Lutheran Cem, and Saint James Lutheran Cem, which serve as critical touchpoints for genealogical research in this part of Michigan.

The hydrology of the area is complex, featuring the Little Ocqueoc River and the Trout River, alongside smaller bodies such as Beechnut Lake and Twin Lakes. Recreation and conservation are noted along the shore within Hoeft State Park and the Huron Sunrise Trail. The road network, including Evergreen Hwy and Black Bear Hwy, reflects a transition from coastal transit to the rural grid of the township interior.
