2017 Map of Woods

About this map

Farwell and the surrounding township of Surrey define the northeast corner of this Michigan landscape, where the S Br Tobacco River flows near the Mill Pond. The terrain is defined by a high concentration of glacial lakes and wetlands, including Littlefield Lake, Bluff Lake, and the evocative Deadman Lake. The southern portion of the sheet transitions into the northern reaches of Isabella County, where the N Br Chippewa River and Coldwater River snake through the countryside. For those tracing family histories in the area, the map preserves the location of Conley Cem and Gilmore Cem, as well as the small settlement of Woods. The road network, including W Ludington Dr and W Surrey Rd, provides a clear view of the rural development patterns that have shaped this region of Central Michigan.
