About this map

The Coldwater River winds through the southern portion of this region, anchoring the village of Freeport where the Freeport Post Office and Freeport Cemetery are located. This landscape is defined by its agricultural grid and a series of small, glacial kettle lakes, including Church Lake, Hess Lake, and the distinctly named Lake Number Ten. The terrain is drained by several waterways such as Pratt Lake Creek, Bear Creek, and Duck Creek, which flow through sections of Kent and Barry counties.

Genealogists and local historians will find several well-documented burial sites throughout the township, including the Mennonite Cemetery along 76th St SE and the Bowne Center Cemetery near the crossroads of Bowne Center. Small rural clusters like Elmdale and Bowne Center illustrate the persistent pattern of dispersed Michigan farmstead settlements. These features, combined with the detailed road network from Clarksville Rd to Alden Nash Ave SE, provide a clear picture of the area's rural character in the early 21st century.
