About this map

The Pere Marquette River defines the southern reach of this landscape, meandering through the heart of the Manistee National Forest. This 1980s-era study captures a region defined by its numerous glacial lakes and riparian systems, where small settlements like Wingleton and Kinney sit near the water's edge. Local history is anchored by a Cem located near Pine Island Lake, while the eastern portion of the sheet shows a dense concentration of water bodies including Railroad Lake, Feeder Lake, and the namesake Townsend Lake. The landscape transition from the wet lowlands of Carpenter Marsh to the timbered tracts of Sweetwater and Webber townships illustrates a wilderness area maintained for conservation and recreation, evidenced by the Roadside Park and Boat Ramp facilities.
