2011 Map of Evans

About this map

Harvard and Evans anchor this northern Kent County landscape, where glacial kettle lakes and small watercourses define the geography. The area is heavily marked by its spiritual and local history, as evidenced by a high density of burial grounds including Saint Margaret's Catholic Cemetery, Courtland Cemetery, and East Nelson Cemetery. The terrain is characterized by numerous small bodies of water such as Scram Lake, Cordes Lake, and Tamarack Lake, many of which remain connected by the winding Beaver Dam Creek and Coopers Creek. In the southern reaches, Wabasis Lake serves as a major landmark, supporting the Wabasis Park Campground and the nearby Wabasis Lake Airport. This network of rural roads and scattered settlements illustrates a transition into recreational and residential land use while maintaining the footprint of older agricultural and family-centered communities from previous generations.
