2011 Map of Paw Paw

About this map

Maple Lake serves as a central focal point for the village of Paw Paw, where the East Branch Paw Paw River and South Branch Paw Paw River converge. This 2011 survey reveals a landscape deeply connected to its water resources, with numerous smaller bodies such as Lake Cora, Threemile Lake, and Popendick Lake dotting the township. For the local historian, the map preserves the location of several significant burial grounds, including the historic Pioneer Cemetery near the riverbanks and Saint Marys Cemetery further south. The map documents the residential patterns around Maple Island and the smaller settlement of Wildeys. Landforms like Prospect Hill and the interestingly named Teapot Dome break the surrounding agricultural and marshy terrain, while features like the Paw Paw Post Office and a local power plant mark the community's modern infrastructure.
