About this map

East Grand Rapids and the southeastern suburbs of Grand Rapids define this 2019 survey, illustrating the modern residential and commercial density of Kentwood and Cascade. The landscape is characterized by a high concentration of educational and memorial sites, including the campuses of Calvin College, Cornerstone University, and the Calvin College Theological Seminary. These institutions are set against a backdrop of historic cemeteries such as Maple Grove Cem, Martin Cem, and the Chapel Hill Memorial Gardens.

Hydrological features are central to the area's layout, from the recreational waters of Reeds Lake and Fisk Lake to the course of the Grand River and the Thornapple River. The southern portion of the sheet is dominated by the sprawling infrastructure of the Gerald R Ford International Airport, while remnant natural areas like the Saddleback Swamps persist amidst the suburban expansion of Eastmont and East Paris.
