About this map

Manistee and its surrounding water-defined landscape dominate this coastal survey along the shores of Lake Michigan. The map illustrates the complex hydrology where the Manistee River meets Manistee Lake, a sheltered harbor that fostered the development of Eastlake and Parkdale. These shoreline communities are tied together by a network of modern thoroughfares like the Chippewa Hwy and Caberfae Hwy, which intersect near the Manistee County-Blacker Airport.

Northward along the coast, the terrain transitions toward more secluded features like Bar Lake and the small settlements of Williamsport and Portage Point at the mouth of Portage Lake. This 2014 data captures the layout of established local landmarks including Oak Grove Cem and the vast boundaries of the Manistee National Forest, providing a clear view of the region's twentieth-century transition from a lumber-driven economy to a mix of aviation, residential growth, and seasonal recreation.
