About this map

Glacial kettle lakes and winding creeks define this corner of Barry County, Michigan, where small rural settlements like Schultz and Podunk represent the quiet residential character of the region. The map reveals a high density of water bodies, from the larger Wall Lake and Big Cedar Lake to smaller basins like Tanner Lake and Whitefish Lake. These waters are linked by the dendritic drainage of Cedar Creek and its northern branches, creating a landscape that has long supported local recreation and small-scale agriculture.

Genealogists will find critical landmarks such as Tanner Cem, Cedar Creek Cem, and Dowling Cem positioned near their respective crossroads. The settlement of Dowling serves as a local hub at the intersection of Nashville Rd and E Quimby Rd, while the southern reaches of the map highlight Vickery Landing on the shores of Clear Lake. This network of country roads and family-named landmarks preserves the early 21st-century footprint of Baltimore Township.
