Scotts, MI: Tree Work at the Crossing
Scotts is an unincorporated community of about 190 in Kalamazoo County, on the line between Climax and Pavilion townships, thirty-four minutes southwest of Battle Creek by back roads. Samuel Scott settled here in 1847; the spot became Scotts Crossing where his land met the railroad, the post office opened in 1872, the town was platted in 1874, and the Grand Trunk Western still runs through. On May 2, 2015 a magnitude 4.2 quake centered under a mile northwest of town revealed an unmapped fault.
On this glacial farm loam we see sugar maples and red oaks on the few village lots, pine and spruce windbreaks, walnut fencerows and dead ash everywhere.
