About this map

Woodland Park and the surrounding glacial lake country are showcased in this 2017 study of Monroe Township. The landscape is defined by the dense forest cover of the Manistee National Forest, where a high concentration of small, named lakes like Webingauw Lake, Richmond Lake, and Loda Lake dot the terrain. These water bodies, many of which lack connecting streams, point to the kettle-hole topography characteristic of this part of Newaygo County.

Settlement patterns are centered on the unincorporated communities of Bitely and Brohman, while local heritage is preserved in sites such as Saint Josephs Catholic Cem and the Merrill Township Cem. The hydrology is anchored by the Little S Br Pere Marquette River in the northeast and numerous drainage systems like the Blue Lake Drain, which illustrate the complex water management required in this forested wetland environment.
