About this map

Lake Allegan dominates the central landscape of this Trowbridge Township survey, where the Kalamazoo River is harnessed to create a large reservoir rimmed by recreation areas and residential roads. The map documents the transition from the river's wilder upstream reaches, including the expansive Swan Creek Marsh, to the developed waterfronts found along Lake Dr and Wildwood Dr. To the north, the small community of Dunningville sits along the regional highway, marked by the nearby Brookside Cemetery and the wandering paths of Bear Creek.

The presence of the Plainview Lookout Tower suggests a high vantage point overlooking the surrounding woods and wetlands, while the Allegan Cross Country Ski Area and various sites like Swan Creek Campground indicate the area's importance as a regional outdoor destination. Smaller water bodies like Big Spec Lake and Little Spec Lake are tucked into the northeast corner, illustrating the dense distribution of glacial lakes characteristic of this Michigan landscape.
