2011 Map of Lake Odessa

About this map

Jordan Lake serves as a focal point for this section of Ionia County, where the settlement of Lake Odessa sits along its northern shores. The landscape is defined by its glacial hydrology, featuring numerous water bodies like Morrison Lake and Duncan Lake alongside the winding Little Thornapple River. For genealogists and local historians, the sheet provides precise locations for family-named burial grounds including Dunkard Cemetery, Cheney Cemetery, and Mauch Cemetery. The rural character of the era is evidenced by the dispersed hamlets of Clarksville and Campbell Corners, connected by a grid of local routes such as Clinton Trl and Nash Hwy. The presence of both the Clarksville Post Office and Lake Odessa Post Office highlights these towns as the primary civic centers for the surrounding agricultural community.
