About this map

Banfield and Hickory Corners anchor this landscape at the junction of Barry, Calhoun, and Kalamazoo counties. The terrain is defined by a dense network of glacial water bodies and wetlands, including Fine Lake, Fair Lake, and the expansive Blachman Swamp in the northwest. These lakes are interconnected by watercourses like Augusta Cr and Sevenmile Cr, which dictate the local drainage patterns and historically influenced settlement placement.

Genealogists can find several notable burial grounds throughout the area, such as Banfield Cem, Hamilton Cem, and Day Cem. The southern edge of the map captures the transition into more suburban development near Level Park-Oak Park. Distinctive landmarks like Indian Isle in Fine Lake and the naming of local routes such as Scott Park RD and Bristol Lake ST provide specific points of interest for those tracing family property or local history in this part of Michigan.
