About this map

Kalkaska serves as the central hub of this northern Michigan landscape, where the North Branch Boardman River and its numerous tributaries like Failing Creek and Crofton Creek carve through the glacial terrain. The village is well-established with civic landmarks such as the Kalkaska County Fairgrounds, the Kalkaska Post Office, and the Kaliseum Recreation Complex. To the south, smaller rural settlements like Crofton and Lodi maintain their identity along the primary north-south corridor of Old M 66.

The area is defined by its abundance of water, from the larger East Lake near Lodi to the scattered smaller basins of Loon Lake, Mud Lake, and Price Lake. For those researching local heritage, the Evergreen Cemetery and Lodi Cemetery are prominent landmarks. The presence of the Kalkaska City Airport and recreational sites like the Twin Birch Golf Course reflect the region's 21st-century role as a gateway for both local industry and seasonal tourism.
