2013 Map of Harveys Lake

About this map

Harveys Lake dominates the northern landscape of this region, surrounded by a dense network of shoreline communities including Laketon, Wordan Place, and Shawanese. The rugged terrain of Kocher Mountain and Bear Hollow provides a natural contrast to the settled valleys where Pikes Creek flows southward toward the Pikes Creek Reservoir. This hydrological system is central to the area's geography, with numerous smaller water bodies such as Lake Silkworth and Scarlet Lake dotting the landscape. The settlement pattern follows the local topography, with established hamlets like Idetown, Lehman, and Cease Mills linked by roads that wind through the hollows. The presence of naming conventions like Outlet and Ceasetown reflects a long history of water management and local industry tied to the region's abundant creeks and runs.
