2019 Map of Coldwater West

About this map

Coldwater serves as the focal point of this Branch County landscape, where the Sauk River and Coldwater River weave through a terrain defined by glacial lakes and wetlands. The city's civic heart is anchored by the Branch County Courthouse, while its western expansion is marked by the Branch County Memorial Airport. To the west, the rural landscape transition into agricultural townships, dotted with small community centers like Batavia Center and the settlement of Lockwood. This area is characterized by numerous water bodies including Morrison Lake, North Lake, and Little Long Lake, which have long influenced the region's development and recreation. Local history and genealogy are well-represented by several burial grounds, such as Oak Grove Cem and the Batavia Cem., alongside landmarks like Pilot Knob and Hawk Hill which break the otherwise low-lying topography of southern Michigan.
