About this map

Lake Michigan forms the western boundary of this coastal landscape, where the shoreline meets a complex system of glacial lakes and creek drainages. The settlement of Stony Lake sits between its namesake water body and the big lake, serving as a focal point for a region defined by a dense network of country roads and agricultural sections. This survey provides a remarkable level of detail for genealogists, documenting numerous local burial grounds including Gardner Cem, Cranston Cem, and Saint John's Catholic Cem.

Drainage patterns are clearly visible through the winding paths of Stony Creek and Burke Creek, which feed into Marshville Pond. To the southeast, the village of Rothbury is situated along the major transit corridor, while the southern portion of the map is dominated by the protected woodlands of the Manistee National Forest. This modern record preserves the exact placement of many rural landmarks, from the Trinity Lutheran Cem to the small interior lakes like Park Lake and Jakes Lake.
