About this map

The Flat River winds through the heart of Belding, providing a central axis for this Ionia County community as it appeared in the early 21st century. The town's civic structure is anchored by the Belding Post Office and several historic burial grounds, including Belding Cemetery, River Ridge Cemetery, and Saint Joseph Cemetery. To the east and south, the landscape transitions into a grid of rural roads and scattered settlements like Orleans and Chadwick Corners.

Water features define the periphery, with Lake Ranney situated to the northwest and the winding course of Dickerson Creek and Bellamy Creek cutting through the agricultural countryside. This survey captures the spatial relationship between the centralized urban core of Belding and its outlying hamlets, preserving the locations of local landmarks such as the Orleans Post Office and multiple family-named cemeteries like Greenop Cemetery and Easton Cemetery.
