2017 Map of Central Lake

About this map

Torch Lake and the Intermediate River system define the geography of this Antrim County landscape, where the narrow peninsula between the glacial waters supports small northern Michigan communities. At the northern end, Eastport sits at the junction of M-88 and Old Dixie Hwy, while Central Lake serves as the interior hub between Hanley Lake and the larger Intermediate Lake. The map details the rural character of the area through several family and community burial grounds, including Southern Cem and Lake View Cem. Near the shore of Lake Michigan, topographical features like Old Baldy and Sand Point mark the transition from the sandy coast to the high ridges of Cedar Ridge. Evidence of local infrastructure is seen at Torchport Airport and the winding course of Voisinet Cr, illustrating how development has historically followed the waterways and the natural contours of the land.
