About this map

Grant and Ashland Center anchor this detailed modern survey of the Newaygo County landscape, where the agricultural grid meets the drainage systems of Crockery Creek and Sand Creek. The map reveals a dense concentration of historical burial grounds, including Ashland Cem, Danish Cem, and Parkview Cem, offering significant value for genealogists tracing family roots in this corner of Michigan.

Southward, the settlement of Bailey sits near the intersection of the Muskegon and Kent county lines, surrounded by a network of small lakes and drains like Skipperville Drain and Wheeler Drain. The terrain is punctuated by water bodies such as Blanch Lake and Half Moon Lake, while federal interests are noted at the Farm Service Agency site. This map provides a contemporary look at the rural infrastructure and named watercourses that have defined the region for generations.
