2019 Map of Marshall

About this map

Marshall serves as the focal point of this 2019 survey, situated where the Kalamazoo River and Rice Creek converge. The landscape is a complex network of wetland basins and small lakes, such as Potter Lake and Lake of the Woods, interspersed with a rigid grid of rural roads named by their distance in miles. For genealogists, the map is particularly dense with burial sites, including the Calhoun County Poor Farm Cem and Saint Marys Cem. Transportation infrastructure is a dominant feature, showing the intersection of major interstates and state highways that now bypass the older settlement patterns of the region. The southern edge of the city is marked by Brooks Field and Oakridge Cem, illustrating the modern balance of civic aviation and long-standing community landmarks.
