How to Use This Cohoctah, Michigan Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Cohoctah, Michigan. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture. Drag the map to pan to any area of Michigan or beyond.

Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).

TOPO MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row offering three choices. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows the official USGS topographic maps from The National Map — contours, hydrography, land cover and shaded relief, the same mapping used for hiking, hunting and back-country navigation in the Adirondacks, the Catskills and the Finger Lakes. Imagery shows USGS aerial photography, mostly 1-metre NAIP. The search box finds any US town, county or landmark by name, so you are not limited to Cohoctah.

Reading the map like a paper quad. Click Grid to overlay the U.S. National Grid (USNG), labelled along the edges exactly as a printed topographic sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass.

Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as a USNG grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — USNG being the format FEMA and US search and rescue teams work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need cell coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your coordinates stay correct even where the map itself cannot load.

Cohoctah emerges from the flat expanse of the Michigan landscape as a collection of quiet roads and open fields that hold the long, golden light of late afternoon with a heavy, patient stillness. It lies 10.6 miles north of Howell, MI (from Howell, MI: bearing 355°T), and is situated 9.2 miles west-southwest of Linden. The earth here is defined by a modest, fertile topography, where the land stretches wide under an expansive sky that seems to push down against the horizon. A short distance away, the Oak Grove State Game Area provides a sanctuary of brush and timber, while the waters of the Sanford Neal Drain cut a narrow, unassuming path through the soil, carving a subtle depression that feeds the surrounding wetlands. Further out, the surface of Indian Lake catches the waning sun, its stillness mirroring the quietude of a countryside that feels removed from the urgent pace of the industrial centers further east.

Cohoctah maintains a character rooted in the legacy of early agricultural settlement, where the rhythm of the seasons still dictates the movement of the day. The local economy persists in a quiet dialogue with the land, favoring the cultivation of crops and the maintenance of homesteads over the rapid encroachment of development. There is a particular texture to the air here, often carrying the scent of damp earth and drying corn stalks, a sensory reminder of the agrarian history that continues to shape the identity of the inhabitants. Life in Cohoctah is measured not by grand events, but by the steady, repetitive tasks of maintaining fences and tending to the acreage, ensuring that the legacy of this place remains as enduring and unpretentious as the soil itself.

About This Cohoctah Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Cohoctah, Michigan. Coordinates: 42.759754, -83.948568. Live weather conditions are sourced directly from the National Weather Service. Real-time local and world news feeds keep the page current.

Detailed location data for Cohoctah includes the ZIP code (48816), telephone area code (517), county seat of Livingston County (Howell), and school district assignment.

Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any US town, county or landmark by name; offers USGS topographic maps and USGS aerial imagery as base layers; overlays a labelled U.S. National Grid (USNG) so the map can be read like a printed topographic quad; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as a USNG grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require cell coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.

Location data is drawn from the USGS Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) and cross-verified against 2020 US Census records by coordinate proximity. Population figures are sourced from the 2020 US Census.
