2023 Map of Pentwater

About this map

The village of Pentwater sits at the vital junction where Pentwater Lake meets the eastern shore of Lake Michigan. This 2023 survey illustrates a landscape defined by its waterways, from the protected waters of Big Bayou and Little Bayou to the winding course of the Pentwater River and its North Branch. The village's street grid, including E Lowell St and Sands St, is bounded to the north by the Pentwater Township Cem, providing a clear view of the settlement's modern footprint against the backdrop of the Manistee National Forest. To the north, Bass Lake and the drainage of Kibby Creek characterize the coastal terrain as it approaches the Mason and Oceana County line. The map captures a transition from the dense residential blocks of the village and French Town to the wooded tracts and small creek valleys like Watson Creek that extend into the interior.
