About this map

Lakeview serves as the primary hub of this west-central Michigan landscape, situated on the eastern shores of Tamarack Lake. The town's grid is bounded by the Lakeview/Griffith Field to the northeast and is surrounded by a network of agricultural lands and natural drainage systems. The boundary between Mecosta Co and Montcalm Co bisects the northern half of the area along N Co Line Rd, marking a transition between the northern rural townships and the more settled southern reaches.

Water plays a central role in the geography, with Tamarack Creek, Brandy Creek, and Handy Creek carving paths through the terrain. To the south, the Brady Hills provide a more varied relief above the Pickerel Lake Drain. For genealogists and local historians, several landmarks offer points of interest, including the small settlement of Dickerson, the Rustford Cem, and the Whitsell Cem located near the intersection of Co Rd 595 and Cutler Rd.
