About this map

The Macatawa River and its multiple branches define the drainage of this coastal Michigan landscape, leading directly into Lake Macatawa at the western edge. This 2017 survey details the established urban grid of Holland and Zeeland, showing the density of religious and educational institutions such as the Western Theological Seminary and Hope Theological Seminary. The map serves as a vital record for genealogists, documenting numerous burial sites including Pilgrim Home Cem, New Groningen Cem, and Noordeloos Cem.

Smaller outlying settlements like Harlem, New Holland, and Noordeloos provide context for the region's historical growth beyond the primary city centers. The intricate network of drainage features, such as the Bosch and Hulst Drain and Northwest of Zeeland Drain, illustrates the managed hydrology necessary for the area's development. Landmarks like Windmill Island stand out as distinct features within the river's path.
