2011 Map of Atwood

About this map

The settlement of Atwood sits near the eastern shores of Grand Traverse Bay, anchoring a landscape defined by an intricate network of small glacial lakes and connecting creeks. This 2011 survey illustrates the rural character of Banks Township, where agricultural parcels are interspersed with specialized features like the Antrim Dells Golf Course. The area is notably rich in genealogical sites, with several distinct burial grounds including the Antrim Cemetery, Atwood Cemetery, Catholic Cemetery, and Ellsworth Cemetery distributed throughout the countryside. A complex drainage system moves water through basins such as Little Torch Lake, Mud Lake, and Lake Marion, while numerous smaller bodies like Moblo Lake and Matchett Lake dot the interior. The northeastern corner reaches toward the community of Phelps, marking a transition toward the larger inland lake systems characteristic of this Michigan peninsula.
