2023 Map of Millgrove

About this map

Lake Allegan dominates the central landscape of this western Michigan survey, where the Kalamazoo River flows through a mix of managed timberland and small rural settlements. The area is characterized by significant public land holdings, including portions of the Manistee National Forest and the Swan Creek Marsh, reflecting a region deeply tied to conservation and river-based recreation. Local history is anchored by the small communities of Millgrove and Dunningville, each with its own local burying ground, Millgrove Cem and Brookside Cem. The map reveals a dense network of sectional roads like Allegan Rd and Lincoln Rd that grid the terrain around winding water bodies such as Bear Creek and Sand Creek. Toward the northeast, the smaller Big Spec Lake and Little Spec Lake provide more intimate landmarks within the larger hydrological system of the Palmer Bayou.
