About this map

The village of Marcellus serves as the central hub of this glacial lake landscape in southwestern Michigan. The terrain is defined by a dense cluster of water bodies, including the large Gravel Lake to the west and the sprawling Bankson Lake in the north. The area's social and civic history is anchored by the Marcellus Post Office, Porter Town Hall, and local burial sites such as Haight Cemetery and Bly Cemetery.

Transport and recreation intersect throughout the township, where the Rocky River meanders across the southern reaches. Aviation history is visible through small-scale facilities like Cornish Field Airport and the Melville Landing Strip. The map also illustrates a well-established seasonal economy, with numerous camps and recreational sites including the Hemlock Lake Campground, Cranberry Lake Campground, and Peacock Ridge Golf Course located near the many kettle lakes that characterize this region.
