2023 Map of Yuma

About this map

The Manistee River winds through the heart of the Manistee National Forest in this survey of northwest Michigan, where the rugged terrain of Sweets Ravine meets the managed waters of the Hodenpyl Dam Pond. This landscape is defined by its recreation and forestry heritage, with the North Country National Scenic Trail traversing the woodlands and wetlands. The small settlement of Yuma sits near the eastern boundary, accompanied by the Yuma Memorial Park and the historic Section 16 Cem. Numerous tributaries, including Slagle Creek, Dead Creek, and Arquilla Creek, carve through the forest, while specialized access like the Newaygo-Weldon Smt Dwnhl Trl points to the area's modern use for outdoor sports. Small clearings such as Flower Flats and Eagles Landing provide rare breaks in the dense canopy along the river corridor.
