2016 Map of Genoa

About this map

Genoa and the surrounding townships in Ottawa County are defined by a grid of rural roads and the meandering paths of several significant creeks. The landscape is deeply agricultural, yet punctuated by clusters of industry and aviation, notably at Toussaint Airpark and Bea-D Airport. Small hamlets like Clay Center, Martin, and Elliston serve as local hubs, while numerous burial grounds such as Allen Township Cemetery and Clay Cemetery offer direct links to the area's genealogical history. The drainage network, including the Toussaint Creek, Packer Creek, and several branches of Turtle Creek, dictates the placement of early settlements and road crossings throughout the quadrangle. This 2016 data reflects the enduring character of a region where tradition and modern utility coexist along the county borders.
