About this map

Allegan Lake and the winding Kalamazoo River dominate this landscape within the Allegan State Game Area. The settlement of Millgrove serves as a focal point near the eastern boundary, while Dunningville sits to the north along the Railroad. This 1981 survey illustrates a region defined by its water resources and conservation land, featuring extensive wetlands like Swan Creek Marsh and Koopman Marsh.

Local history is preserved in the location of the Millgrove Cem and Brookside Cem, alongside rural congregations such as the American Indian Gospel Ch and the Reformed Ch. The map also captures the industrial footprint of the era through scattered Gravel Pits, Sandpits, and a Powerplant situated near the dam. Recreational sites, including Swan Creek Campground and Little John Lake County Park, underscore the area's transition toward a managed wilderness and outdoor destination.
