About this map

Petoskey occupies a prominent position on this 2017 survey, situated where the Bear River meets Little Traverse Bay on the shores of Lake Michigan. The map illustrates the detailed street grid of the city, including its educational and community landmarks like the N Central Michigan Coll and several major burial grounds such as Greenwood Cem and Saint Francis Solanus Cem. To the south, the landscape shifts toward the recreational and residential clusters surrounding Walloon Lake, with the smaller settlement of Clarion appearing near the eastern shore.

The boundary between Emmet Co and Charlevoix Co bisects the southern portion of the sheet, cutting through the complex hydrology of Walloon Lake. Cultural features are numerous, ranging from the lakeside community of Indian Garden to smaller rural sites like Maple Hill Cem. This map effectively traces the transition from the concentrated urban core of Petoskey to the wooded, lake-dotted resort and agricultural lands of the northern Michigan interior.
