About this map

The Kalamazoo River and the New York Central railroad corridor define the southern landscape of this Calhoun County region in the early 1960s. The settlement of Ceresco sits at a river bend, supported by its namesake Ceresco Cem and nearby Conley Sch. Further west, the growing suburban footprint of Wattles Park is evident, featuring a Drive-in Theater and the expansive Floral Lawn Memorial Gdns.

Rural schoolhouses and local landmarks are densely distributed across the township divisions of Pennfield, Convis, Emmett, and Marshall. Genealogists may find value in the scattered country schools like Cobblestone Sch and Red Brick Sch, while conservation history is represented by the Kellogg Biological Preserve in the west. Numerous small kettle lakes, including Brigham Lake and Cleveland Lake, dot the northern glacial terrain.
