2017 Map of Maple Grove

About this map

Thornapple River winds through the northern reaches of this Barry County landscape, feeding into Thornapple Lake near the settlement of Quimby. The terrain is defined by its glacial history, evidenced by the numerous kettle lakes dotting the township, including Ellison Lake, Long Lake, and Wild Lake. For genealogists, the map is remarkably detailed, locating several burial grounds such as Hastings Township Cem and the Barry County Poor Farm Cem. The small communities of Morgan and Dowling serve as local hubs within a dense network of country roads, including Barryville Rd and Maple Grove Rd. The southern portion of the sheet is drained by High Bank Cr and Wabascon Cr, illustrating the complex drainage patterns that supported the region's agricultural development into the early 21st century.
