2017 Map of Galesburg

About this map

Galesburg sits at the heart of this landscape, positioned along the banks of the Kalamazoo River and the expansive Morrow Lake. The map reveals a high density of burial sites that speak to the area's long-established communities, including the Galesburg Old Cem, Shafter Cem, and the notable Kalamazoo County Poor Farm Cem. To the north, the terrain transitions into a lake-studded region defined by Gull Lake, Butterfield Lake, and Graham Lake, which have shaped the residential patterns of Yorkville and South Gull Lake. Local history and genealogy are well-represented by smaller settlements like Howlandsburg and Lawndale, while the hydrography of Gull Creek and Comstock Cr illustrates the drainage into the Kalamazoo basin. The layout of roads such as E Michigan Ave and E Main St highlights the primary corridors connecting these riverside and lakeside villages.
