About this map

Torch Lake and Lake Skegemog dominate this Northern Michigan landscape, where the waters of the Chain Of Lakes Water Trl converge. The settlement of Torch River sits at the narrow passage between the lakes, while Rapid City serves as a primary hub to the east near the banks of the Rapid River. This modern survey details the complex hydrography of the region, including smaller bodies of water like Smith Lake, Haynes Lake, and Truax Lake.

Evidence of local history and community is found at the Clearwater Township Cem and the Saint Mary of the Woods Catholic Cem near the southern settlement of Barker Creek. The terrain is marked by prominent features like Skegemog Point, which extends into the lake at the border of Antrim and Grand Traverse counties. This map serves as an essential reference for tracking modern property access and recreation throughout the surrounding woodland and wetlands.
