About this map

The coastal landscapes of Lake Michigan define this part of Manistee County, where the Manistee city limits meet the industrial and residential developments of East Lake and Parkdale. The shoreline is characterized by a series of inland water bodies and wetlands, including Portage Lake to the north and the expansive Manistee Lake at the southern edge. The mouth of the Manistee River, designated here as the Manistee Wied and Scenic River, serves as a central geographic corridor, surrounded by the protected lands of the Manistee National Forest.

Genealogists and local researchers will find significant landmarks such as the Oak-Grove Cem and the Manistee County-Blacker Airport. The map documents a blend of lakeside resort character at Portage Point and the rural road networks that serve the interior, including Lakeshore Rd and Bar Lake Rd. These features illustrate the area's development around its unique hydrology, from the Highpoint Bayou to the Bar Lake Swamp.
