2019 Map of Six Lakes

About this map

Six Lakes sits at the heart of this landscape where the Flat River and numerous glacial basins define the geography of the Mecosta and Montcalm county border. This 2019 survey documents a region characterized by its dense concentration of water bodies, from the sprawling Lake Montcalm in the south to the chain of First, Second, and Third lakes to the east. The map is a vital resource for genealogists, as it identifies several local burial grounds including Morton Cem, Hillcrest Cem, Evergreen Cem, and Cato Cem. The terrain is marked by a network of drainage systems like Tamarack Cr and Wolf Cr, which connect the various basins such as Townline Lake and Big Brimmer Lake. Smaller residential pockets like Lake Forest appear near the shoreline of the larger lakes, illustrating the area's long-standing draw for those seeking the Michigan interior's waterside reaches.
