About this map

Jones and Wakelee anchor this glacial landscape in eastern Cass County, characterized by a dense concentration of kettle lakes and wetlands. The terrain is notably uneven, featuring prominent elevations like Bald Hill and the uniquely named Mt Misery. This 2017 survey details a rural economy shaped by these water bodies, from the larger recreation-oriented Corey Lake and Harwood Lake to smaller basins like Skyhawk Lake and Bogart Lake.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several significant burial sites, including Poe Cem, Lilly Lake Cem, and Sand Hill Cem, which are scattered among the township's section lines. The map also records the presence of Dr. TK Lawless Park and the industrial history suggested by Streaters Mill Pond. The boundary with St. Joseph County to the east is clearly defined, following the edges of the township sections through areas like Long Lake and Allen Lake.
