2014 Map of Woodland Park

About this map

The Manistee National Forest provides a vast wooded backdrop for this portion of Newaygo County, where the landscape is defined by an intricate network of glacial lakes and small watercourses. Settlements like Woodland Park and Brohman are centered around these water bodies, which include Woodland Lake, Bluegill Lake, and Loda Lake. The map reveals a balance between conservation and local history, as seen in the winding path of the N Country National Scenic Trail and the presence of several community anchors like the Merrill Township Cem and Hillers Cem. In the north, Bitely sits near the headwaters of the Little S Br Pere Marquette River, highlighting the area's importance for regional drainage. The road network, including State Hwy 37, connects these small hubs, tracing the high ground around landmarks like Skidder Hill.
