2011 Map of Smithville

About this map

The Manistee River winds through the southern portion of this region, serving as a primary geographical anchor near the community of Smithville. The landscape is defined by a high density of small water bodies and glacial features, including Twentyeight Lakes in the north and several named basins like Sickle Lake and Ingersoll Lake to the west. Small settlements such as Deibert, Giddings, and Millers Corners are connected by a regular grid of section roads, indicating the area's agricultural and rural residential layout. For those researching local history, the map identifies specific landmarks like the Garfield Lookout Tower and provides the exact locations of Deibert Cemetery and Garfield Cemetery. The transition from the flatlands around Taffeltown to the rise of Twentyone Hill illustrates the varied elevations found in this part of Michigan.
