2019 Map of Twin Lakes

About this map

Glenwood serves as the primary settlement node in this corner of southwestern Michigan, where the boundary between Van Buren and Cass counties divides a landscape defined by glacial hydrology. The Dowagiac River and the Dowagiac Drain system dominate the southern half of the sheet, illustrating the region's managed water flow through low-lying marshlands. This map is particularly valuable for genealogical research, as it identifies several distinct burial grounds including North Wayne Cem, Red Mill Cem, Gage Cem, and White Cem. These cemeteries are scattered across a patchwork of section lines and rural roads like Territorial Rd W and Celery Center Rd. Northward, the terrain transitions into a dense cluster of water bodies including School Lake, Pine Lake, Osborn Lake, and the larger Lake of the Woods, reflecting the area's enduring character as a destination for inland lake recreation and agriculture.
