About this map

The Grand River and Thornapple River converge in this western Michigan landscape, anchoring the settlements of Ada and Cascade. The terrain is defined by a dense network of residential development interspersed with significant topographical features like Thorne Hills and local water bodies including Quiggle Lake and Bailey Lake. A notable stretch of the N Country National Scenic Trail winds through the northern section, crossing through the hills and hollows near Honey Creek.

Genealogists and local historians will find several burial grounds across the townships, including Cascade Cem, Vergennes Cem, and the smaller Snow Cem. Transportation and light aviation infrastructure are represented by the Somerville Airport and the Van Strien Company Airport situated along the river banks. This survey captures the modern interface of suburban expansion with the area's original river-valley orientation, preserving the locations of family-named roads and rural landmarks before further transformation.
