2017 Map of Hastings

About this map

The Thornapple River winds through the heart of Hastings, the primary hub of this south-central Michigan landscape. The town's grid is dense with street-level detail, bordered to the west by the Hastings Airport and to the south by Fall Cr. The surrounding countryside is defined by a heavy concentration of glacial lakes and marshy drains, such as Algonquin Lake, Leach Lake, and Sugarbush Lake. For genealogists, the map is particularly useful for locating small, rural burial sites including West Carlton Cem and Irving Cem, alongside individual markers like the Ingraham Grave and Leach Grave. The settlement at Welcome Corner and various family-named roads like Buehler Rd and Messer Rd indicate the area's deep-rooted agricultural and residential history.
