About this map

Portage River and Dorrance Cr meander through this landscape in southeastern Kalamazoo County, defining a region characterized by numerous glacial lakes and intricate drainage networks. Small settlements and historic crossroads are scattered throughout, including the village of Scotts and the community at Pavillion Center. The map reveals a dense distribution of family-named cemeteries such as Gilson Cem, Wolcott Cem, and McKain Cem, which provide critical touchpoints for genealogical research in the township.

Aviation and recreation are anchored by East Lake Airport and the residential clusters around Indian Lake and Pickerel Lake. The terrain is shaped by several named watercourses including Asher Drain and Reinbold Drain, illustrating the complex water management required in this low-lying area. Industrial and agricultural history is noted at Cooks Mill, while the residential developments of Adams Park and Lemon Park show the mid-century growth of these lakeside communities.
