About this map

The village of Bellaire sits at the heart of this Antrim County landscape, where the Intermediate River flows south into Lake Bellaire. This area is defined by the Chain O' Lakes water system, featuring a complex network of connected waterways including Intermediate Lake, the Grass River, and Clam Lake. The map reveals a community deeply tied to its natural geography, with the Antrim County Airport and the Bellaire Post Office serving as central landmarks for the town's infrastructure.

To the east, the terrain rises to support seasonal recreation at the Shanty Creek Ski Area and Schuss Mountain Ski Area. Genealogists and local historians can locate several burial grounds scattered through the countryside, such as Lakeview Cemetery, Morey Cemetery, Fairview Cemetery, and Chapman Cemetery. The map also captures smaller details of the rural landscape, from the Trestle Bridge near the village center to the numerous smaller kettle lakes like Lake of the Woods and Finn Lake.
