About this map

The Manistee River and its northern branch define the upper half of this Garfield Township landscape, where the small settlement of Sharon sits at the junction of several local routes. The terrain is characterized by an extensive network of wetlands, including the large Little Cannon Creek Swamp and Big Devil Swamp, which dictate the winding paths of roads like Little Devil Creek Rd. These drainage patterns suggest a low-lying glacial topography typical of the region's river valleys.

Moving south toward the border between Kalkaska and Missaukee Counties, the map reveals a more isolated environment marked by Horseshoe Lake and Round Swamp. The area is laced with named trails and forest roads such as Wilderness Trl SE and Kessel Trl SE, reflecting a landscape primarily used for recreation or timber management. This 2017 survey provides a detailed view of the water system, from the headwaters of Silver Cr to the reaches of Big Cannon Cr.
