2023 Map of Langston

About this map

Langston and its neighboring hamlets of Entrican and Sidney anchor this modern-day topographic study of rural Montcalm County. The landscape is defined by its glacial hydrology, with the Flat River winding through the western portion and Dickerson Creek draining towards several significant water bodies including Clifford Lake and Dickerson Lake. For those tracing family roots in the area, the map precisely locates several local burial grounds, including the Riverside - Langston Cem and the Entrican Cem. The settlement pattern follows a clear grid of section-line roads like Kendaville Rd and Co Rd 522, reflecting the township-and-range surveying system that shaped this agricultural and residential region. Numerous smaller basins like Penny Lake and Pickerel Lake dot the eastern half, illustrating the high water table and varied topography that characterize this part of Michigan.
