Portage Lake and its surrounding coastal communities define this portion of Manistee County, where the village of Onekama sits at the head of the water. The landscape is a complex network of bayous and creeks, including Browns Bayou and Borski Bayou, which drain into the Manistee River as it flows through the Manistee National Forest. This era shows a well-developed road system connecting inland settlements like Norwalk and Douglas to the lakefront, while specialized enclaves like Wic-a-te-wah and Red Park occupy the prominent peninsulas of North Point and Eagle Point.
