2023 Map of Coral

About this map

The unincorporated community of Coral and the village of Pierson anchor this portion of the West Michigan landscape along the border of Montcalm and Kent counties. The area is defined by a dense network of water features and drainage systems, including the Lovett and Cody Drain, Rice Creek, and several small bodies of water like Coady Lake and Picnic Lake. For genealogists, the map identifies three distinct burial grounds: Coral Cem, Coady Cem, and Saint Marys Cem, providing precise locations for family research. One of the most significant modern landmarks is the Fred Meijer White Pine Trail State Park Trail, which follows the corridor of a former railroad line, demonstrating how historical transit routes have been repurposed for contemporary recreation while maintaining the original survey alignment through the townships.
