About this map

The Thornapple River winds through the heart of this Barry County landscape, serving as the central artery for the village of Middleville and the settlement of Irving. The 1980s terrain is defined by a dense network of conservation lands, including the Middleville State Game Area and the expansive Yankee Springs State Recreation Area, which preserves numerous glacial kettle lakes like Bassett Lake and McDonald Lake.

Genealogists can find several historic burial grounds, such as Mount Hope Cem and Bowerman Cem, alongside established educational institutions like Middleville Academy and Thornapple-Kellogg High Sch. The map also illustrates the agricultural and rural character of the region with named roads such as Garbow Road and Chief Noonday Road, highlighting the era's balance between small-town development and state-managed wilderness.
