2017 Map of Johannesburg

About this map

The unincorporated community of Johannesburg serves as the focal point of this Otsego County landscape, situated along the M-32 corridor. The terrain is defined by a dense concentration of glacial kettle lakes, ranging from the expansive Big Bear Lake and Little Bear Lake in the east to the smaller Traverse Lakes and Johannesburg Lake near the town center. Local history is anchored by the Johannesburg Cem and the settlement of Quietacres, while the S Br Pigeon River drains the northwestern corner. The mapping reveals a detailed network of recreational and transit routes, most notably the long-distance Shore to Shore Trail winding through the central and southern sections, connecting several smaller water bodies like Douglas Lake and Caulkins Lake.
