2023 Map of Sullivan

About this map

Sullivan and Wolf Lake serve as the primary residential hubs in this portion of Muskegon County, defined by a dense network of township roads and drainage systems. The landscape is characterized by its complex hydrology, where Black Creek and the Muskegon Newaygo Drain facilitate water movement across the flat terrain. For genealogists and local historians, the presence of the Sullivan Township Cemetery and the Egelston Township Cemetery provides concrete location data for regional research. Small settlements like Updyke appear along the local thoroughfares, while named water bodies such as Crockery Creek, Norris Creek, and Vincent Creek highlight the natural drainages that have influenced land use and property boundaries in this part of Michigan. The layout of roads like Apple Avenue and South Maple Island Road illustrates the modern development pattern layered over traditional agricultural sections.
