About this map

The Thornapple River winds through this southern Michigan landscape, anchoring the village of Nashville and its historic core. A detailed look at the 2011 topography reveals a community shaped by its waterways and agricultural roots, with the Nashville Post Office serving as a central landmark. The rural surroundings are dotted with legacy sites essential for genealogical research, including the Nashville Cemetery, Mason Cemetery, and the Wilcox Cemetery further south.

Outside the primary settlements of Vermontville and Kalamo, the terrain is defined by a network of drainage ways like Scipio Creek and Shanty Brook that feed into the Thornapple. Small water bodies such as Lake One and Mud Lake interrupt the grid of county roads, while the presence of the Quaker Cemetery suggests early sectarian settlement patterns in the area. This map provides a clear view of the modern road infrastructure, such as the Nashville Hwy, as it overlays the traditional township boundaries.
