About this map

Marne and the expanding western reaches of Walker anchor this 2011 survey of Kent County, where rural crossroads and suburban development meet. The landscape is defined by its small agricultural hubs like Fruit Ridge Center, Wright, and Herrington, alongside a significant network of family and community burial grounds, including Big Springs Cemetery and Saint Joseph's Cemetery. The northern section of the map shows the headwaters of Mill Creek and Cranberry Lake, while the Musketawa Trl provides a notable recreational path following former rail corridors through the heart of the region.

Transportation patterns are dominated by the modern interstate corridor passing through the settlement of Kinney and past the Marne Post Office. The map meticulously details local road names that define the township grid, from Wilson St to Kenowa Ave, marking the evolution of the area from isolated farming communities like Reno to a modern residential and transit-focused periphery of Grand Rapids.
