About this map

South Boardman sits at the convergence of several waterways in the mid-1980s, where the South Branch Boardman River and Shannon Cr meet. This portion of the Pere Marquette State Forest is defined by a dense network of glacial kettle lakes and wetlands, including the cluster of Sand Lakes, Guernsey Lake, and Island Lake. The landscape reflects a mix of conservation and extraction, with a Sand Pit and Gravel Pit located near the riverbanks.

Local infrastructure is concentrated in the village, which features Boardman Park and a local Cem. The northern terrain transition into Kalkaska and Whitewater townships is marked by numerous smaller water bodies like Darby Lake and Mud Lake. A Footbridge spans the North Branch Boardman River, indicating established recreational or local footpaths through the timbered sections of Boardman and Union townships.
