About this map

Battle Creek is situated at the significant confluence of the Kalamazoo River and the Battle Creek river, forming a dense urban core surrounded by established neighborhoods like Urbandale, Lakeview, and Verona Park. The landscape is defined by its industrial and civic infrastructure, from the W K Kellogg Airport on the western edge to the Calhoun County Justice Center downtown. Genealogists will find a wealth of data across numerous burial grounds, including the large Oak Hill Cem and the Memorial Park Cem, alongside smaller family plots like the Harmon-Halladay Cem. Recreational and natural features are prominent, notably Goguac Lake with its islands—Ward Island, Clark Island, and Vince Island—and the N Country National Scenic Trail which winds through the city’s park systems. The map also detail local educational landmarks such as Kellogg Community College and a network of water bodies including Beadle Lake and Minges Brook.
