2019 Map of Sharon

About this map

Sharon serves as the central hub of this northern Michigan landscape, situated where the N Br Manistee River and Manistee River converge. The terrain is defined by a vast network of wetlands, including the sprawling Big Devil Swamp, O'Neil Swamp, and Little Cannon Creek Swamp, illustrating a landscape shaped by glacial deposits and slow-moving water. This area of Kalkaska County is crisscrossed by established local routes like S Military Rd and Co Hwy 571, which navigate between the numerous creek systems like Pierson Creek and Big Cannon Cr. To the south, the boundary between Kalkaska Co and Missaukee Co passes just north of Horseshoe Lake, marking the transition into more varied elevation patterns. The map detail highlights how rural development has clustered near the river bends and at the fringes of these significant swamp systems.
