2023 Map of Stanwood

About this map

The village of Stanwood and the community of Borland anchor this part of Mecosta County, where the north-south corridor of Northland Dr intersects a grid of numbered roads. To the northwest, the Muskegon River flows into the Rogers Dam Pond, a significant hydraulic feature that dominates the upper corner of the map. This landscape is defined by the transition from the structured farm and residential plots of the eastern townships into the protected timberlands of the Manistee National Forest along the western edge. Family history and local heritage are preserved in several scattered burial grounds, including Ladner Cem near the river and Higbee Cem to the southeast. The drainage of the land is marked by numerous small waterways like Meeks Creek, Big Creek, and the Little Muskegon River, which wind through the forested and agricultural terrain.
