2023 Map of Central Lake

About this map

The deep turquoise waters of Torch Lake dominate this survey, situated between the shores of Lake Michigan and the Intermediate River system. The village of Central Lake sits at the eastern edge of the quadrangle, serving as a hub between Intermediate Lake and the surrounding agricultural uplands. To the northwest, the settlement of Eastport marks the narrow land bridge between the Great Lakes shoreline and the inland waterway. This landscape is defined by its glacial heritage, where the Chain of Lakes Water Trail connects various basins through the Torch River. Local history is preserved in small rural burial grounds like Southern Cemetery and Russell Cemetery, while landmarks like Old Baldy and Hayo-Went-Ha Point indicate the long-standing recreational and geographic significance of the peninsula. Further south, the community of Creswell and the Torchport Airport highlight the mix of residential growth and regional transport infrastructure.
