2019 Map of Holland East

About this map

Holland and the surrounding Dutch-heritage settlements of West Michigan occupy a landscape defined by the Macatawa River and its varied drainage networks. The city’s core is anchored by institutional landmarks such as Hope College and the Western Theological Seminary, while its cultural identity is signaled by Windmill Island just north of the downtown district. The transition from the urban grid of Holland into the more spread-out town of Zeeland to the east reveals a dense cluster of burial grounds, including Pilgrim Home Cem and Roselawn Memorial Gardens, which serve as vital touchstones for family historians. Smaller, traditionally established communities like Noordeloos and New Holland dot the northern reaches of the quadrangle, connected by a rigid system of section-line roads like Quincy St and New Holland St that cuts across the winding paths of the Bosch and Hulst Drain and Northwest of Zeeland Drain.
