About this map

Duck Lake and its surrounding recreational landings serve as the focal point for this 1980s landscape at the intersection of Eaton and Calhoun counties. The shoreline is punctuated by Charlotte Landing and Albion Landing, illustrating the area's development as a local destination for lakefront access. To the north, Narrow Lake stretches through the town of Brookfield, while the headwaters of Battle Creek meander across the northern township.

Rural infrastructure is well-defined, showing a network of secondary roads such as Spicerville Highway and Bellevue Highway connecting small settlements like Partello and Clarence Center. Local history is preserved through numerous family-named burial grounds, including Fox Cem and Perry Cem, and the presence of a Gas Field and scattered Oil Wells southwest of the lake reveals the subsurface economic activity of the era. Smaller landmarks, such as Grange Hall and Faith Academy, anchor the community's social and educational history.
