About this map

The Kalamazoo River carves a path through the southern half of this landscape, anchoring the settlement of Ceresco. This river-centric topography is defined by its drainage network, with Pigeon Creek, Crooked Creek, and Dickinson Creek feeding into the main waterway. The settlement pattern reflects both traditional rural town centers and more modern residential developments such as Wattles Park and Pennfield.

For genealogists, the map is particularly valuable for its record of family and community history sites, featuring several burial grounds including Austin Cemetery, Sandstone Cemetery, and the Floral Lawn Memorial Gardens. The presence of the Ceresco Post Office marks the village's continued role as a local hub. Further north, the terrain transitions into a more rural grid system, punctuated by landmarks like Hall Lake and Mud Lake.
