Geocache Description:


Star City was originally named Starvation Lake after a local trapper was found dead in his cabin from starvation... As time went on the town went ghost for the first time as Starvation Lake, after which southern developers renamed the area Star Lake and attempted to sell the properties for Farming and Vacationing. The entire operation went bust and the area ghosted again. The name Star City came into use in the latter half of the 1900's.

Star City isn't much of a city anymore. It pretty much consists of a few old farm house, a really old barn or small schoolhouse, and a cemetery. It is located in Missaukee County, on Star City Road, about 10 miles west of Houghton Lake off M55. Going through Star City will take you to Morristown, named after James Morris from the 1800's. Used as a logging town, now consists of a True Value store, church, fire station, trailer park and a few houses.
