About this map

The Platte River winds through this section of Benzie County, supporting a landscape defined by its glacial lakes and conservation infrastructure. Central to the area's identity is the Platte River State Fish Hatchery, which sits near the junction of several critical tributaries including Brundage Creek and Stanley Creek. This region is characterized by a mix of recreational and agricultural land use, featuring seasonal hubs like the Sunnywoods Resort and Campground and Lake Ann Camp.

Genealogists and local historians will find value in the clearly marked Almira Cemetery and Brundage Cemetery, which serve as quiet anchors for the surrounding rural roads. The map documents significant local landmarks such as Clarks Mill and the Lake Ann Airway Estates Airport, providing a clear view of the inland township's development. Small bridges like Haze Bridge and Case Bridge cross the river, connecting a network of named roads like Steam Hauler Rd and Maple City Hwy that link the scattered residential clusters and private lakes like Eliza Lake and Lake Louise.
