About this map

Pere Marquette State Forest dominates the landscape of this Missaukee County region, where the terrain transitions into a patchwork of forest and rural settlement. The northern reaches of the quadrangle center on Pioneer, while the crossroads of Morey and the Morey Ch serve as local landmarks further south. A network of named rural routes, such as Phelps Road and Edmonds Road, grid the countryside, indicating the established township boundaries of Bloomfield, Pioneer, Caldwell, and Forest.

Water plays a critical role in the local geography, from the headwaters at Ham Creek Spring to the southern passage of the Muskegon R. Near the eastern boundary, Loon Lake and its adjacent Township Park provide a public focal point, while the small community of Cutcheon sits at the junction of Mc Leod Road and Cutcheon Road. This 1980s-era survey documents the enduring layout of these timberland and farming townships.
