About this map

The Kalamazoo River carves a winding path through the city of Allegan, serving as the central geographic feature of this West Michigan landscape. The city center is marked by several key landmarks, including the historic Second Street Bridge and the Allegan County Fairgrounds situated along a prominent river bend. This survey provides significant data for genealogists, as it identifies numerous burial grounds scattered throughout the township, such as the Allegan County Poor Farm Cemetery, Poplar Hill Cemetery, and Hudson Corners Cemetery.

To the north and east, the terrain transitions into a lake-studded region defined by Miner Lake, Dumont Lake, and several smaller water bodies like Wetmore Lake and Little Spec Lake. The settlement of South Monterey and the village of Hopkins sit at the northern edge, connected to the county seat by a rigid grid of rural avenues. Notable recreational and community sites, such as Camp Beechpoint and Dumont Lake Campground, highlight the area's long-standing draw for seasonal residents and outdoorsmen.
