2011 Map of Grawn

About this map

Grawn and the nearby Chums Corner junction serve as focal points in this lakeside landscape southwest of Traverse City. The region is defined by a dense concentration of glacial lakes and ponds, ranging from the expansive Long Lake and Duck Lake to smaller basins like Saunders Lake and Ellis Lake. This 2011 survey illustrates a community deeply integrated with its geography, where residential developments follow the contours of the shoreline and historic local institutions remain prominent. Educational sites such as the Howard School, Dunn School, and Beitner School are positioned alongside significant public spaces including the Northwestern Michigan Fairgrounds. The eastern edge of the quadrangle is marked by the winding course of the Boardman River near Keystone Pond, while local history is anchored by the Grawn Post Office and the Memorial Gardens Cemetery near Brookside.
