About this map

The Kalamazoo River cuts a prominent path through this portion of south-central Michigan, defining the southern landscape near the city of Marshall. The river's influence is mirrored by the complex drainage systems of Rice Creek and Bear Creek, which feed into the main waterway amidst a terrain dotted with kettle lakes such as Lake of the Woods and Pardy Lake. This 2014 survey reveals a transition from the dense industrial and residential layout of the city, centered around Marshall Station, to the rural agricultural expanses of the surrounding townships.

Genealogists will find significant value in the numerous burial sites recorded here, including the Calhoun County Poor Farm Cem and Oakridge Cem. The transportation network is a primary feature, showing the intersection of major modern thoroughfares with older routes like Old 27 N and 17 Mile Rd. The map also captures local aviation history at Brooks Field Airport, positioned just south of the city's commercial core.
