About this map

Bentheim and the surrounding township lands in Allegan County are defined by a grid of numbered roads and several significant watercourses. The Rabbit River meanders through the central and western portions of the map, creating a network of wetlands and low-lying areas like Beaver Meadow. This landscape is marked by several small, established community centers including Hamilton and Diamond Springs, which serve as focal points for the rural countryside.

Genealogists and local historians can trace legacy land use through several named burial grounds, including Overisel Cem, Bentheim Cem, and the more remote Dowd Cem. The elevation remains relatively consistent, though distinctive landmarks such as Beach Hill and Bakers Field provide variety to the terrain. Notable water features like Black Cr and Miller Cr feed into the primary river system, illustrating the natural drainage patterns of this agricultural and residential region.
