The Manistee River carves a winding path across this landscape, serving as a focal point for local activity near the settlement of Smithville. This area, situated along the boundary between Kalkaska and Missaukee Counties, is characterized by a high density of small kettle lakes and wetlands, including Woodard Lake, Ingersoll Lake, and Jones Lake. Small rural communities such as Taffeltown, Giddings, and Deibert are connected by a network of sectional roads like W Sharon Rd. Family and local history researchers will find the locations of the Deibert Cem and Garfield Cem particularly useful. The terrain is marked by distinctive elevations like Twentyone Hill, which overlooks the surrounding basins and the headwaters of Nelson Creek and Waterhole Creek.
