2019 Map of Ceresco

About this map

The Kalamazoo River winds through the southern reach of this landscape, serving as the central geographic artery for the communities of Ceresco and Wattles Park. This region of Calhoun County displays a transition from the structured residential expansions near Pennfield to the open, water-dotted lowlands of the north, where Cleveland Lake, Mud Lake, and Black Marsh dominate the terrain. Genealogical interest is particularly high here, as the sheet meticulously identifies local burial grounds including Sandstone Cem, Ceresco Cem, Newbre Cem, and the expansive Floral Lawn Memorial Gardens. The settlement pattern follows the established corridors of the Kalamazoo River and Pigeon Cr, while modern recreation is marked by the presence of the N Country National Scenic Trail, which meanders across the southern half of the quadrangle.
