1980 Map of Hudsonville West

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

The Dutch-influenced farming communities of Ottawa and Allegan counties are captured in detail during the late 1970s. The landscape is defined by its agricultural grid, where small settlements like Beaverdam, Vriesland, and Drenthe serve as local hubs. These towns are frequently anchored by their cemeteries and churches, such as the Vriesland Ch and East Drenthe Cem, which remain vital landmarks for genealogical research. The Chesapeake and Ohio railroad cuts diagonally across the township lines of Blendon and Zeeland, paralleling the modern highway system that was expanding the reach of nearby Hudsonville. Industrial elements are also present, including numerous Gas Wells and a large Gas Storage Area in the south near Salem, reflecting the region's underlying natural resources alongside its traditional agrarian character. Waterways like the Macatawa River and Black Creek provide natural drainage through this developed terrain.
