2017 Map of Chippewa Lake North

About this map

The small settlement of Pogy serves as a central landmark in this 2017 survey of the borderlands between Osceola and Mecosta counties. This glacial landscape is defined by an intricate network of kettle lakes and streams, including the prominent Chippewa Lake at the southern edge and the residential developments surrounding Lake Miramichi. For genealogists, the map provides precise locations for several burial grounds, such as the Proctor Family Cem and the Pioneer Cem near Pogy. The terrain transitions from the wetland complexes of Featherbed Marsh and Haymarsh Lakes in the southwest to the winding path of the Muskegon River in the northwest corner. A grid of rural roads like Mecola Rd and Big Stone Lake Rd connects these scattered water bodies, showing the modern parceling of timber and farmland around Pogy Lake and Pitcher Lake.
