2019 Map of Walton

About this map

Walton Junction serves as the primary focal point of this northern Michigan landscape, situated at the intersection of the Grand Traverse and Wexford county lines. The area is characterized by a high density of small, family-named burial grounds and historic markers, including Old Walton Cem, Walton Cem, Sparling Cem, Milks Cem, and the lone Iliff Grave. These sites suggest a legacy of early pioneer settlement and localized family clusters across the townships. The terrain is defined by a complex drainage network featuring Walton Marsh and Biglow Marsh, which feed into Walton Outlet. Modern recreational corridors such as the N Country National Scenic Trail and the N Country Iron Belle Trail now follow the same natural contours and former transport paths that once connected these rural communities.
