About this map

Six Lakes serves as the central hub of this glacial landscape in Montcalm County, where a dense concentration of kettle lakes and interconnected waterways defines the geography. The community is surrounded by notable water bodies such as Townline Lake, Bass Lake, and the trio of First Lake, Second Lake, and Third Lake. This network of wetlands and streams, including the southern flow of the Flat River, historically shaped the local transport and residential patterns seen along corridors like W Howard City Edmore Rd.

Genealogists will find several well-distributed burial grounds including Hillcrest Cem, Morton Cem, Cato Cem, and Evergreen Cem, which anchor the surrounding townships. The landscape transitions from the residential clusters at Lake Forest to the marshy lowlands surrounding Horseshoe Lake and Mud Lake. This modern survey details how the contemporary road grid, such as Townline Rd and Tamarack Rd, navigates the complex hydrology of the Tamarack Creek and Brimmer Creek drainage systems.
