2019 Map of Lacota

About this map

The Middle Br Black River and South Branch Black River converge in this agricultural landscape spanning the Allegan Co and Van Buren Co border. Small, long-established settlements such as Kibbie, Hawkhead, and Lacota anchor the rural crossroads, many of which are marked by family-named burial sites like Stephenson Cem and Stuller Cem. The transition from the rural interior toward the lakeside is evident in the residential clusters of Hollywood, Cedar Bluff, and Miami Park. A significant landmark of the region's recreational evolution is the Kal-Haven Trail State Park, which follows a former rail corridor through the heart of the territory. This 2019 survey documents the enduring layout of orchard-rich southwestern Michigan, where traditional township-and-range lines dictated by t1n r16w meet the expanding outskirts of South Haven.
