There's really not a lot of woodlands in "The Woodlands". Trees? yes. But actual woodlands (at least in the sense of a forest)... meh, not really. Mostly mcmansions, boulevards, cul-de-sacs, and yuppies.
Why are we excluding non-English names, like Detroit?
As Steely pointed out, for many places, the local language at the time of their naming was something other than English. This requirement eliminates a lot of Michigan locations with either French or Native American origins.
Anyway, your rules make it harder, but here's a few I could think of in Michigan:
- Flint (for the rocky river bed)
- Hillsdale (consisting of many small hills and dales)
- Coldwater (self-explanatory)
- Hemlock (lots of Hemlock trees there)
- Lakeview (there must be a ton of these, (something)-views)
- Wolverine
- Diorite
- Sands

Just as Michigan has a Hell, it also has a Paradise. Both capitalize on tourism. Paradise, in the upper Peninsula, is more enjoyable, in my opinion.
