About this map

The glacial kettle lakes of Southwest Michigan define the landscape of this 1981 survey, where the resort community of Sister Lakes sits at the intersection of Van Buren and Cass counties. The area is characterized by a dense concentration of water bodies, including the large Magician Lake with its named landforms like Rattlesnake Island and Maple Island. Small clusters of development such as Woodland Beach and Sandy Beach line the shores, reflecting the mid-century growth of seasonal and permanent lakeside residences. Rural life away from the water is anchored by longstanding institutions like the Sacred Heart of Mary Ch and Silver Creek Ch, along with several family-associated burial grounds including Grabemeyer Cem and Cullinane Cem. To the north, the settlement of Keeler serves as a local hub along Territorial Road, while the southern reaches transition toward the Dowagiac River valley near Beechwood.
