About this map

Olive Center and the village of Borculo anchor this section of Ottawa County, where agricultural patterns are defined by a network of drainage systems. The landscape is shaped by the winding courses of the Pigeon River and Bass River, alongside man-made improvements like the Walters Drain and Ovens and Sawyer Drain. These waterways historically managed the wetlands to support the surrounding farmsteads and small communities.

Local genealogy is well-represented through a series of dedicated burial grounds, including the Rusk Cem, Olive Township Cem, and Borculo Cem. Further north, the outskirts of Allendale begin to appear, while smaller hamlets like Rusk and Crisp indicate the historical density of the rural population. Notable landmarks such as Dewind Field and the proximity to West Olive Cem provide specific points of interest for those tracing family roots or the evolution of land use in this part of Michigan.
