About this map

Harvard and Evans serve as the primary residential hubs in this portion of Kent County, situated within a landscape defined by an extensive network of small lakes and glacial depressions. The terrain shifts from the elevations of Cheney Hills in the northwest down toward a dense cluster of water bodies including Harvard Lake, Sandbottom Lake, and the large expanse of Wabasis Lake to the southeast. This 2019 survey documents a rural environment where land use is characterized by large agricultural tracts interspersed with clusters of lakefront development.

Genealogists and local historians will find several well-documented burial grounds, such as Saint Margaret's Catholic Cem and Oakfield Cem, which reflect the long-standing community foundations of the township. Infrastructure like the Wabasis Lake Airport and the network of roads such as 18 Mile Rd and Myers Lake Ave NE connect these isolated settlements and provide access to the various wetlands and creeks, including Beaver Dam Cr and Coopers Cr, that drain the region.
