2017 Map of Ellsworth

About this map

Lake Charlevoix and its long South Arm anchor this landscape, where the interconnected waterways of the Chain o' Lakes system define the local geography. The settlement of Ellsworth sits at the northern tip of Ellsworth Lake, marking a point of transition between Saint Clair Lake and the southern flow of the Intermediate River. To the east, East Jordan occupies the end of the fjord-like arm of the main lake, positioned where the Jordan River enters the basin. This terrain is defined by a dense network of glacial lakes and creek drainages, including Nowland Lake, Sixmile Lake, and Wilson Lake. The inclusion of small family and community burial sites like Lakeside Cem and Jones Cem, along with named landmarks like Holy Island, provides clear markers of the generational settlement pattern along the Antrim and Charlevoix county line.
