About this map

Plainwell anchors the western edge of this landscape, situated where the Kalamazoo River bends through the glacial terrain of Southwest Michigan. The map captures a transition between the established township center and the outlying rural developments of the mid-2010s, notably around Lake Doster and the residential clusters near Silver Lake. This area is defined by its complex hydrography, where the Gun River and Silver Cr weave through a network of lakes including Pine Lake and Warner Lake.

Genealogists will find significant local history preserved in the numerous burial grounds documented here, such as Hillside Cem, Gun Plains Township Cem, and the outlying Ives Cem. The map reflects a landscape of both old rail-era settlements like Doster and Neeley alongside modern features like Walker Airport. The convergence of Allegan, Barry, and Kalamazoo counties at W Baseline Rd highlights the administrative importance of this particular geography.
