2017 Map of Wiley

About this map

Manistee National Forest encompasses the central and southern portions of this landscape, where the N Br Pentwater River and Cedar Cr weave through the wooded terrain. The area is defined by a dense network of sectional roads and glacial water features, including the notable Oxbow Lake and smaller bodies like Mud Lake and Saint Marys Lake. Local history is preserved at the small settlement of Wiley in the north and Smith Corners to the south. Genealogists will find three distinct burial grounds: Saint Peter's Cem, North Weare Cem, and Smith Corners Cem. This documentation shows a transitional zone where agricultural plots meet protected forest lands, marked by natural landmarks like Big Springs and several named drainage systems such as Oxbow-Lake Drain and Allen Drain.
