About this map

Grant and the surrounding agricultural lands of Newaygo County are defined by a grid of rural roads and numerous small water bodies. The settlement pattern is anchored by Grant, Ashland, and Bailey, each connected by a primary north-south corridor. Local heritage is deeply rooted in the landscape, as evidenced by a high density of burial grounds including the Ashland Cemetery, Danish Cemetery, and Seamans Cemetery, which serve as quiet markers of the area's early family history.

The hydrology of the region is equally prominent, with Crockery Creek winding across the lower half of the map, while Half Moon Lake and Coles Lake sit near the southern border. The presence of both the Grant Airport and Tyrone Airport reflects the importance of regional aviation in this part of Michigan. Genealogists will find particular value in the scattered locations of smaller sites like the Shippy Cemetery and Chubbuck Cemetery near the county line.
