2023 Map of Wolf Lake

About this map

Wolf Lake and its surrounding residential streets anchor the southwestern corner of this survey, where local life follows the water’s edge near Indian Point. To the north and east, the landscape transitions into the wooded expanse of the Manistee National Forest, a territory marked by numerous glacial lakes and the meandering courses of the Muskegon River and Maple River. This area serves as a significant historical crossroads, evidenced by the scattered small burial grounds that dot the countryside, including Indian Cem, Saint Anthonys Cem, and Johnson Cem. The complex hydrography of the region is further defined by Maple Island and Troque Island, which sit at the confluence of several waterways. These features, along with names like Chidester Cem, provide a detailed record of local genealogy and land use across the Muskegon and Newaygo county line.
