About this map

The Flat River converges with the Grand River at the heart of Lowell, a primary settlement on this West Michigan landscape. This 2011 survey illustrates the city's relationship with its waterways and the surrounding rural infrastructure, including the Lowell Fairgrounds and the Lowell Post Office. North of the city, the hamlet of Fallassburg is situated along a bend in the river, connected by Covered Bridge Rd, reflecting a transportation network that preserves local landmarks.

Genealogists will find a significant concentration of burial grounds, such as Oakwood Cemetery, Fallass Cemetery, and McBride Cemetery, which trace the lineage of early area families across Kent County. The map also delineates specialized land use, from the Lowell City Airport and Van Strien Company Airport to the recreational layout of the Deer Run Golf Course. Smaller water bodies like Stoney Lake, Pratt Lake, and the Swan Ponds dot the township, fed by tributaries including Lee Creek and Dairy Farm Creek.
