About this map

Manistee National Forest dominates this portion of Newaygo County, where a dense network of glacial kettle lakes and small streams defines the landscape. The small settlements of Woodland Park and Bitely serve as focal points in the north, while Brohman is situated further south along the forest boundary. The presence of a Gravel Pit near Brohman suggests the local extraction of glacial deposits, a common industry in this part of Michigan.

Water is the defining feature of the terrain, with dozens of named basins such as Loda Lake, Woodland Lake, and Webinguaw Lake scattered between the drainages of Mena Creek and the Little South Branch Pere Marquette River. These water bodies and their associated wetlands, including the Skidder Lake Drain, indicate a complex hydrography that has likely shaped local recreation and seasonal residency for decades.
