2012 Map of Howard City

About this map

Howard City serves as the primary hub in this portion of Montcalm County, situated where the waters of Tamarack Cr flow through a grid of residential streets including Chestnut St and Walnut St. The surrounding landscape is defined by a dense network of country roads—many named by their distance or family associations—and numerous small water bodies like Henkel Lake and Indian Lake. This 2012 survey illustrates the area's rural character and established community markers, from the Anderson Airport to several burial grounds that reveal the local genealogy, such as Reynolds Cem and Boyd Cem. To the north, the Little Muskegon River meanders past Morley Pond and the Saint Apollonia Cem. The small settlement of Amble remains distinct in the eastern reaches, anchored by Amble Cem and its connection to the surrounding agricultural grid along Amble Rd.
