2019 Map of Atwood

About this map

The boundary between Charlevoix and Antrim counties divides this northern Michigan landscape, where a series of small, glacially-carved lakes define the local geography. The settlement of Ellsworth serves as a focal point in the eastern portion, situated near Eaton Lake and Ellsworth Cemetery. Further west, the small community of Atwood is positioned along a north-south corridor, supported by the nearby Atwood Cemetery and Catholic Cemetery. The terrain is marked by a complex network of creeks such as Skinner Creek and Burnard Creek that feed into scattered water bodies including Little Torch Lake, Mud Lake, and Toad Lake. This 2019 survey documents a rural landscape where section-line roads like Barnard Road and Church Road overlay a topography of drumlins and wetlands, illustrating the persistent agricultural and residential patterns of the Barnard and Phelps vicinities.
