2023 Map of Peacock

About this map

The Little Manistee River and Big Sable River systems define this portion of the Manistee National Forest, where a dense concentration of glacial kettle lakes supports seasonal and year-round recreation. The landscape is characterized by the Udell Hills and a complex network of waterways including Bass Lake, Sauble Lakes, and the secluded Sawmill Lake. For genealogists and local historians, the map identifies the small settlements of Little Manistee and Peacock, along with the Lakeview Cem near Bluegill Lake. This modern survey illustrates how timber-era roads like W River Rd and 9 Mile Rd continue to provide access to the deep woods and scattered wetlands of Lake County, preserving a pattern of development that revolves around its significant water resources and public lands.
