The Kalamazoo River winds through the northern portion of this landscape, carving a valley that defines the topography above the settlement of Merson. This area at the intersection of Allegan, Van Buren, and Kalamazoo counties is characterized by a high concentration of glacial kettle lakes, including Base Line Lake, Lake Sixteen, and Clear Lake. The human footprint is marked by long-standing burial grounds such as Trowbridge Methodist Cem, Blackman Cem, and Mallery Cem, which provide significant points of reference for genealogical research in Trowbridge Township.
