2012 Map of Dayton Center

About this map

The S Br White River meanders across this portion of Newaygo County, creating a central corridor through a landscape defined by its rural intersections and scattered water bodies. Local genealogy interests are well-served by the presence of Huber Cem, Bull Cem, and Lincoln Township Cem, which anchor the historical memory of these townships. Small clusters like Huber and Aetna represent the quiet settlement patterns of the region, while Dayton Center sits near the southern edge of the quadrangle. The terrain is marked by numerous streams including Black Cr and Martin Cr, feeding into larger pools such as Clarks Lake and Peterson Lake. This topography reveals a late twentieth-century Michigan countryside where agriculture and recreation, evidenced by the Northwood Golf Course, coexist alongside the original wetland and river systems.
