2017 Map of Kalkaska

About this map

Kalkaska serves as the central hub of this northern Michigan landscape, where the street grid meets the Kalkaska City Airport and the corridor of the Little Rapid River. The area is defined by its glacial hydrology, featuring a dense network of water bodies including Loon Lake, Bass Lake, and Kettle Lake. To the west, the settlement of Crofton is bordered by the expansive Crofton Swamp, illustrating the persistence of wetlands amidst the regional transport network. Long-distance recreation is represented by the N Country Trail;Iron Belle Trail, which cuts across the northern townships. The map provides a detailed view of the local infrastructure, from the small hamlet of Lodi and its namesake Lodi Cemetery to the established Evergreen Cemetery near the heart of the village. The drainage patterns of the North Branch Boardman River further characterize the interplay between the highland terrain and the valley floor.
