The village median is half the township's
Census estimates for 2020 to 2024 put the village of Alanson at $134,100 and Littlefield Township, which surrounds it, at $256,500. The township includes Oden and Ponshewaing on the north shore of Crooked Lake. A village house on a small lot and a lake house two miles away belong in different comp sets, and the figures show it.
Locks set the water on Crooked Lake
Crooked Lake is the southwest end of the Inland Waterway, which runs by lock to Lake Huron at Cheboygan. The Alanson Waterway Locks control how much water leaves the lake. The lake reaches 50 feet deep, and US 31 follows its north shore. Conway sits at the west end, mostly in Little Traverse Township. Crooked and Pickerel lakes also reach into Springvale Township, where Berry Creek feeds Pickerel.
