2017 Map of Burnips

About this map

Burnips and Monterey Center anchor this rural Allegan County landscape, where a dense network of sectional roads like 142nd Ave and 26th ST cross a terrain defined by glacial lakes and winding waterways. The Little Rabbit River and Pigeon Cr drain towards a series of water bodies including Monterey Lake, Shipp Lake, and Three Corner Lake, reflecting the hydrologic character of western Michigan. This area maintains its agricultural footprint while supporting seasonal and community spaces such as the Beechwood Hills Camp near Leggett Lake. Local heritage is preserved in several burial grounds, including the Burnips Cem, Salem Cem, and the Saint Paul's Evangelical Lutheran Cem located further south near Hopkins. The map details the precise township and range boundaries, such as t4n r13w, which have dictated property lines and road placements since early settlement.
