2019 Map of Secord Lake

About this map

Secord Lake forms the heart of this landscape, where the confluence of several major waterways creates a complex system of peninsulas and waterfront properties. The geography is defined by the convergence of the West Branch Tittabawassee River, Middle Branch Tittabawassee River, and East Branch Tittabawassee River, along with the Sugar River flowing in from the west. This intricate drainage network, including Indian Lake Creek and Elk Lake Creek, influenced the local road patterns, such as Lakeshore Dr and Riverside Dr, which hug the winding shorelines. Evidence of early community settlement is preserved at the Second Lutheran Cem near the southern edge of the lake. The map also documents smaller hydrologic features like Lang Drain and Gilman Spring, illustrating the transition from natural river systems to managed water resources in Gladwin County.
