2011 Map of McDonald

About this map

The South Branch Black River winds through this rural landscape in Van Buren County, anchoring a network of small crossroads communities and agricultural tracts. Settlements such as West Bangor, Jericho Corners, and McDonald punctuate the grid of country roads, while several historic burial grounds including Monk Cemetery and Taylor Cemetery offer points of interest for genealogical research. The southern portion of the area is dominated by significant water bodies, most notably Van Auken Lake and Duck Lake, which contrast with the more structured drainage of Mud Lake Drain. Regional landmarks like the South Haven Area Regional Airport and the Circle Y Ranch Bible Camp illustrate the varied land use, from aviation to recreation, while smaller named points such as Friendsville and Maple Grove Corners preserve the names of local gathering spots within the township structure.
