About this map

The Hastings city center sits at the confluence of the Thornapple River and Fall Creek, serving as the prominent seat of local government anchored by the Barry County Courthouse. This 2023 survey illustrates the dense street grid of the town center transitioning into the surrounding agricultural and wetland landscape of Barry County. To the north and west, the terrain is defined by a series of interconnected water bodies and drainage systems, including the large Algonquin Lake and the smaller Leach Lake and Bear Hole Lake.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the distribution of burial sites across the township, ranging from the large Riverside Cem near the riverbanks to the more isolated West Carlton Cem and the specific marker of the Leach Grave. The presence of the Hastings Airport and the Farm Service Agency Interest of Michigan reflects the modern infrastructure and ongoing agricultural importance of the region, while outlying settlements like Welcome Corner point to the area's older rural nodes.
