2014 Map of Belding

About this map

Belding serves as the primary municipal center in this western Michigan landscape, situated where the Flat River winds through the border of Ionia and Montcalm counties. The town is defined by a dense street grid featuring thoroughfares like W Ellis Ave and S Bridge St, surrounded by several commemorative sites including Belding Cem, Saint Joseph Cem, and River Ridge Cem. The surrounding townships are marked by a regular section grid and numerous glacial water bodies such as Lake Ranney, Haney Lake, and Long Lake. To the southeast, the small settlement of Orleans sits near the local drainage of Bellamy Cr and Spring Brook. The presence of several outlying burial grounds like Green Cem, Greenop Cem, and Easton Cem provides significant points of interest for those researching local family history across the rural landscape of T8N and T7N.
