About this map

The Kalamazoo River and its tributaries, Rice Creek and Talmadge Creek, shape the settlement patterns of this Calhoun County landscape. In the early 21st century, Marshall serves as the regional hub, characterized by a dense grid of streets like N Marshall Ave and historic institutions such as the Marshall Post Office and the Calhoun County Fairgrounds. The town is surrounded by a network of rural roads named with a distinct alphanumeric system, including 18 Mile Rd and O Drive N, which connect scattered homesteads and various family burial grounds.

Genealogists will find a significant concentration of burial sites, from the large Oakridge Cemetery and Saint Marys Cemetery near the city center to more remote locations like the Calhoun County Poor Farm Cemetery and Johnson Cemetery. The landscape north of town is dotted with small glacial lakes such as Potter Lake, Pardy Lake, and Pork Barrel Lake, providing a clear view of the area's natural hydrology alongside modern infrastructure like Brooks Field.
