2023 Map of Galesburg

About this map

Galesburg serves as a central hub on this contemporary survey of Kalamazoo County, where the Kalamazoo River flows through a landscape defined by significant water bodies and rural burial grounds. The map documents the area surrounding Morrow Lake and the southern reaches of Gull Lake, detailing the residential expansion of Lawndale and Richland. Genealogists will find a high density of rural cemeteries, including the Kalamazoo County Poor Farm Cem and several smaller sites like Shafter Cem and Riverside Cem. The transition from the more developed East Comstock to the agricultural reaches of Howlandsburg is evident, while the Fort Custer Training Center facilities appear in the southeastern quadrant. This survey provides a precise modern inventory of the region's diverse lakes, including Graham Lake, Butterfield Lake, and the Three Lakes group, situated between the historic settlements and modern townships.
