1972 Map of Cannonsburg
USGS Topo · Published 1974About this map
The unincorporated village of Cannonsburg serves as a focal point in this 1970s survey of northeastern Kent County, situated where the landscape transitions from the managed Cannon State Game Area to an undulating terrain of glacial kettle lakes. The area exhibits a classic post-war Michigan residential pattern, with seasonal and year-round communities established around bodies of water like Bostwick Lake and Silver Lake. Small agrarian and religious centers remain prominent, such as the hamlet of Parnell, defined by St Patricks Sch, and the cluster of community life at Grattan. Local history is anchored by numerous family and pioneer landmarks, including the Cannonsburg Cem and Cannon Cem, while the presence of the Silver Lake Country Club and several Gravel Pits reflects the area's dual role as a site for both recreation and resource extraction during this era.
