About this map

East Grand Rapids and its surrounding suburbs appear in high detail during this early 21st-century period of established residential growth and infrastructure. The landscape is defined by its numerous glacial lakes, ranging from the prominent Reeds Lake to smaller water bodies like Fisk Lake, Church Lake, and Walden Lake. The development of the era is evident in the dense street networks and the presence of Cornerstone University in the north and the expansive Gerald R. Ford International Airport in the south.

Tracing the waterways reveals the path of the Grand River in the northeast and the drainage patterns of Plaster Creek and Whisky Creek. The map provides significant value for genealogists and local historians, pinpointing multiple burial sites such as Chapel Hill Memorial Gardens, Ada Cemetery, and the Graceland Mausoleum. This survey documents the transition from the city proper to the outlying communities of East Paris, Eastmont, and Cascade.
