About this map

Moran and the adjacent community of Allenville serve as the primary inland settlements in this Mackinac County landscape, situated just north of the Lake Michigan shoreline. Much of the terrain is defined by the dense wetlands of the Hiawatha National Forest, including the extensive Summerby Swamp and the intricate Pointe aux Chenes Marshes. These hydrologic features feed into the Pointe aux Chenes River and Moran River, creating a complex network of waterways that drain toward Poupard Bay.

Genealogists will find the Immaculate Conception Cem and Brevort Township Cem near the northern settlements, while outdoor recreation is represented by the N Country National Scenic Trail and the Castle Rock Snomo (Snow) route. The map illustrates a landscape where modern conservation and recreation trails intersect with established parish and township burial grounds, all framed by numerous interior water bodies like Hay Lake and Silver Lake.
