2019 Map of Allegan

About this map

Allegan serves as the focal point of this 2019 survey, situated along a prominent bend of the Kalamazoo River. The map details a landscape defined by its hydrography, from the expansive Lake Allegan in the west to the irregular shores of Miner Lake and Dumont Lake. The layout of the region reflects a transition from the structured street grid of the county seat to the open agricultural lands of the surrounding townships. Local history and genealogy are anchored by several notable burial sites, including Oakwood Cem near the city center and the Allegan County Poor Farm Cem further north. Cultural and administrative landmarks such as the Allegan County Building and the historic Second Street Bridge illustrate the community's established infrastructure. To the north, smaller settlements like South Monterey and Hopkins mark the rural reaches of the county, connected by a network of named county roads and section-line avenues.
