About this map

The Manistee National Forest encompasses this pocket of Newaygo County, where the settlement of Woodland Park serves as a residential hub amidst a dense network of glacial kettle lakes. This mid-1980s landscape is defined by its water, from the northern Bitely Lake and Lamoreaux Lake down to Loda Lake and the marshy edges of Loon Lake. The small village of Brohman sits centrally along the main north-south corridor, marked by a local Townhall.

Beyond the residential clusters, the terrain rises toward Skidder Hill and is drained by numerous winding waterways like Tank Creek and the Little South Branch Pere Marquette River. The presence of a Sewage Disposal Plant near Bluegill Lake and a Cem (cemetery) north of Shelley Lake provide specific touchpoints for local historians and genealogists tracking the infrastructure and community layout of this forested region during the late twentieth century.
