About this map

Lake Michigan forms the western boundary of this coastal landscape where Antrim Co and CharleVoix Co meet. The settlement of Ellsworth stands as a focal point in the southeast near Eaton Lake, while the village of Atwood occupies the central crossroads. The map reveals a dense network of water bodies, from the larger Little Torch Lake and Lake Marion to smaller basins like Barnard Pond and Toad Lake.

Genealogists can locate several burial grounds including Antrim Cem, Atwood Cem, and Catholic Cem, along with the Ellsworth Cem further east. The terrain is defined by a series of north-south running creeks, such as Inwood Cr and Wilkinson Cr, which drain into the lakes. The presence of the Old Dixie Hwy and numerous local roads like Essex Rd and Barnard Rd illustrates the established agricultural and residential patterns of this northern Michigan region.
