About this map

The glacial landscape of northern Kent County is defined by an intricate network of kettle lakes and wetlands, centered on the historic crossroads of Evans and Harvard. The map details a significant concentration of family and community burial grounds, including the Saint Margaret's Catholic Cem, De Graw Cem, and the East Nelson Cem to the north, which serve as vital markers for genealogical research in this rural region.

Water dominates the southern half of the map, where Wabasis Lake and its associated Wabasis Lake Airport highlight the area's transition into a recreational and residential hub. Notable water bodies like Scram Lake, Angel Lake, and Sandbottom Lake are connected by small tributaries such as Beaver Dam Cr and Butternut Cr, illustrating the complex drainage patterns of the Cheney Hills area. The grid of country roads, including 18 Mile RD and 14 Mile RD Ne, preserves the early township boundaries of Courtland and Oakfield.
