2021 Map of Berlin

About this map

The small settlement of Berlin sits at the junction of State Hwy Z and State Hwy H, serving as a central point in this rural landscape spanning the border of Gentry and DeKalb Counties. The northern half of the region is defined by the winding course of the Grand River, where landmarks like the Crawford Bridge and Crawford Xing facilitate movement across the water. Significant for local family historians, several burial grounds are scattered throughout the countryside, including Berlin Cem, Fairview Cem, and the Hardwick-Wheeler Cem. South of the county line, the terrain transitions into a more intricate network of waterways such as the Middle Fork Lost Cr and E Fork Lost Cr, alongside private impoundments like Jestes Lake and Lake Mar-Lou. This 2021 survey illustrates a modern road network following traditional section lines, overlaid on a deeply dissected drainage basin.
