About this map

The Portage River winds through this section of Kalamazoo County, shaping a landscape defined by small crossroads settlements and scattered water bodies. The community of Scotts serves as a central point of interest, featuring the Scotts Post Office, while other early junctions like Collins Corner, McKain Corners, and Pomeroy illustrate the traditional rural settlement pattern of the Michigan interior. Notable for genealogists are the numerous burial grounds distributed across the township, including Cook Cemetery, Gilson Cemetery, and Wolcott Cemetery.

Water features like Indian Lake, East Lake, and Sagamaw Lake are surrounded by residential pockets such as Lemon Park and Highview Shrs. The presence of Cooks Mill and the East Lake Airport highlights the varied economic and recreational history of the area. This 2011 survey captures the transition from historic agriculture to contemporary community use, preserved in the detailed naming of rural roads and small parks like Adams Park.
