2014 Map of Scotts Lake

About this map

Intermediate Lake and the Intermediate River anchor this Antrim County landscape, which transitions from the village of Central Lake into a complex network of glacial water bodies and highland terrain. The waterway system includes Sixmile Lake to the north and the smaller Scotts Lake and Beals Lake at the center, illustrating the interconnected drainage patterns typical of this part of Michigan. The settlement pattern is defined by the valley floor at Pleasant Valley and the presence of family-linked landmarks and burial grounds, such as Densmore Cem and Morehouse Cem. Significant elevations like Bunker Hill and Dingle Hill rise above the basin, while the shoreline is punctuated by named locations like Deep Water Point and Recreation Point. This topographic survey shows how the local road network, including W Old State Rd and M-66, has adapted to the ridges and riparian corridors of the Chain o' Lakes region.
