2011 Map of Twin Lakes

About this map

The Dowagiac River cuts a diagonal path through this section of Wayne Township, anchoring a landscape defined by glacial lakes and small rural settlements. The community of Twin Lakes sits at the center of the sheet, surrounded by water bodies including Knickerbocker Lake, School Lake, and Pine Lake. Further north, the settlement of Glenwood is positioned near the Dowagiac Drain, while Five Mile Corners serves as a western waypoint. Genealogists will find several local burial grounds documented here, including Hamilton Cemetery, North Wayne Cemetery, and the White Cemetery near Marcellus Hwy. Modern cultural landmarks such as the Five Mile Drive In Theater and recreation areas like Oak Shores Campground illustrate the area's transition toward a leisure and residential character in the early 21st century.
