About this map

The Grand River and its major tributaries, the Thornapple River and Honey Creek, converge to form a distinct riparian landscape east of Grand Rapids. This modern survey illustrates the suburban development of Forest Hills, Ada, and Cascade while maintaining a clear view of the area's agricultural and aviation history. Local genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of several community burial grounds, including the Vergennes Cem and Krum Blanding Cem. Smaller, family-named sites like Wright Cem and Rolfe Cem are also preserved here.

Transportation patterns are defined by the convergence of waterways and local airstrips like Somerville Airport and the Van Strien Company Airport. The presence of the North Country National Scenic Trl cutting through the northeast corner highlights the area's recreational geography. From the banks of Quiggle Lake to the residential expansion along the Thornapple River, the map provides a comprehensive record of this Kent County corridor.
