2019 Map of Karlin

About this map

The Betsie River and its network of tributaries, including Grass Lake Creek and Pickerel Creek, define this interior landscape where four Michigan counties meet. The settlement of Karlin serves as a local focal point near the shores of Round Lake, while the village of Nessen City is situated to the southwest. The geography is marked by a transition from the glacial lake basins of Green Lake and Duck Lake in the north to the more varied topography of Twin Mountains in the south. Genealogists and local historians will find several burial sites preserved on this sheet, including the De Lorme Cem and the Grant Township Cem. The presence of the Green Lake Airport and various named rural routes like Old Barn Trl reflect the area's modern development alongside traditional natural landmarks like Upper Twin Lake and Bass Lake.
