About this map

Portage Lake dominates the northern landscape of this region, its shoreline shaped by points like North Point and Eagle Point where the village of Onekama and the resort community of Red Park are situated. The terrain transitions south toward the Manistee River, where a complex network of wetlands and bayous including Jenkins Bayou, Borski Bayou, and Anderson Bayou defines the river's course. This area is protected as part of the Manistee Wild and Scenic River and the broader Manistee National Forest.

Inland, the map documents a series of small rural settlements and crossroads such as Onekama Junction, Norwalk, Douglas, and Newland. For genealogists and local historians, several burial sites are recorded, including Onekama Village Cem and the Saint Joseph Catholic Cem, alongside several smaller family or community cemeteries like Miller Cem and Brownstown Cem that mark the legacy of early Manistee County townships.
