2017 Map of Grandville

About this map

The Grand River snakes through this 2017 study of the western Grand Rapids metropolitan area, marking the boundary between Walker and the burgeoning suburbs of Jenison and Grandville. The landscape reveals a sophisticated network of residential expansion and preserved open space, anchored by major landmarks like Johnson Park Sw and the extensive grounds of Rosedale Memorial Park Cem. The presence of small aviation facilities like Riverview Airport and Weller Airport alongside the heavy transit corridor of Chicago DR illustrates the varied infrastructure supporting the region's growth. For genealogists and local historians, several burial grounds including Jenison Cem and Georgetown Township Cem provide clear anchor points for tracing family settlement patterns across the Ottawa Co and Kent Co line. The map also details the complex drainage of the river basin, featuring numerous tributaries such as Rush Cr, Buck Cr, and Sand Cr.
