2023 Map of Augusta

About this map

The Kalamazoo River and Augusta Creek converge near the village of Augusta, a landscape defined by significant military and aeronautical infrastructure. The expansive grounds of the NG CTC Fort Custer Trng Center and the Fort Custer National Cemetery dominate the central portion of the map, illustrating the long-standing military presence on the border of Kalamazoo and Calhoun counties. To the east, the industrial and residential reaches of Battle Creek and Springfield emerge, anchored by the W K Kellogg Airport. Local history is well-preserved through numerous burial grounds such as Lawler Cem and Roof Cem, while the Norfolk Southern rail line provides a transit corridor through the river valley. The map also captures several kettle lakes, including Eagle Lake and Whitford Lake, which dot the terrain between the established settlements of Level Park and Oak Park.
