About this map

Banfield stands as the central settlement in a glaciated landscape defined by an intricate network of kettle lakes and wetlands at the intersection of Barry, Kalamazoo, and Calhoun counties. The terrain is marked by significant water bodies such as Fine Lake, which features the named Indian Isle, and the clustered waters of Gilkey Lake, Little Gilkey Lake, and Shallow Gilkey Lake. This 2019 survey documents a rural landscape where local history is preserved in numerous burial grounds, including Banfield Cem, Hickory Corners Cem, Hamilton Cem, and Day Cem.

Modern recreation and traditional water courses meet here, as the N Country National Scenic Trail traverses the southern section near Stony Lake and Ross Lake. The drainage patterns of Augusta Cr and Sevenmile Cr connect the numerous basins, such as Tamarack Lake and Hamilton Lake, illustrating the complex hydrology of Johnstown Township. This map provides a detailed view of the road network, from Baseline Rd to smaller routes like Loon Echo Dr, serving as a modern record of this lake-studded region.
