About this map

Battle Creek serves as the central hub of this 2011 survey, where the confluence of the Kalamazoo River and the Battle Creek river defines the urban core. The city is surrounded by a dense network of suburban developments and historical neighborhoods including Orchard Park, Verona Park, and Greenfield Park. Transport infrastructure is prominent, featuring the W K Kellogg Airport on the western edge and the Grand Trunk Ave rail corridor.

Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites across the landscape, from the centrally located Mount Olive Cemetery and Oak Hill Cemetery to outlying plots like Holiday Cemetery and Dubois Cemetery. The southern reaches of the quadrangle transition into a more aquatic landscape dominated by Goguac Lake, featuring Ward Island and Clark Island, alongside the residential growth near Beadle Lake. This era shows a community fully integrated with its river systems while maintaining distinct neighborhood identities like Lakeview and Sunrise Heights.
