2017 Map of Star Corners

About this map

The Little Manistee River meanders through the central corridor of this survey, defining a landscape dominated by the protected acreage of the Manistee National Forest. This region at the boundary of Manistee and Mason counties remains largely undeveloped, characterized by a complex network of forest roads and the Marzinski Horse Trail. Near the western edge, the Old Stronach Cemetery serves as a significant genealogical marker for the township, located just south of the river valley. The map documents several water bodies including Claybank Bayou in the north and Hoags Lake further south. The settlement of Star Corners sits at a crossroads in the northeast, while the Sixmile Bridge provides a key crossing point for Six Mile Bridge Road as it spans the river. The concentration of wetlands and small tributaries like Claybank Creek reflects the drainage patterns that have shaped local land use and conservation efforts.
