About this map

Torch Lake and the Intermediate River chain dominate this northern Michigan landscape, illustrating a complex network of glacial lakes and connecting waterways. The village of Central Lake sits at a narrow point where Hanley Lake meets Intermediate Lake, showing the historical importance of these channels for local transport. To the west, the tiny settlement of Eastport serves as a gateway near the shores of Grand Traverse Bay.

Family history researchers can find several burial grounds across the townships, including Lake View Cem and Southern Cem. The map preserves the locations of local landmarks like the Greenwood School and the Torchport Airport, alongside natural features like the prominent Old Baldy dune. This detailed record of the Antrim County shoreline documents the area's transition from a timber-and-water economy to its modern character as a residential and recreation destination.
