2019 Map of Butternut

About this map

Butternut and Vickeryville anchor this agricultural landscape in southeastern Montcalm County, where the terrain is defined by glacial kettle lakes and the winding course of Fish Cr. The map reveals a high density of small water bodies like Cedar Lake, Mud Lake, and Muskrat Lake in the north, while the southern reaches are drained by Bacon Cr and Butternut Cr. For those researching local families, the survey provides precise locations for the Bloomer Cem, Vickeryville Cem, Crystal Cem, and Burke Cem, which serve as vital landmarks for genealogists tracing ancestors in Crystal and Bloomer townships. The rectilinear road grid, including routes like Senator Rd and S Crystal Rd, highlights the established section-line development typical of Michigan's farming heartland during this modern era.
