About this map

Petoskey stands at the edge of Little Traverse Bay on Lake Michigan, serving as a focal point where the residential streets of the city transition into the woodlots and rolling terrain of Emmet and Charlevoix counties. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Bear River and the sprawling waters of Walloon Lake, which anchors the southern half of the map.

Smaller settlements and historical markers like Clarion, Wildwood, and the Indian Garden area reflect the long-standing community structure of Northern Michigan. Genealogists and local historians can find significant landmarks such as Saint Francis Cem, Greenwood Cem, and Maple Hill Cem. The presence of North Central Michigan College in the heart of Petoskey highlights the city's role as a regional center of education and commerce amidst the surrounding natural features like Lookout Ridge.
