About this map

The Kalamazoo River and the winding North Branch Rice Creek define the agricultural and aquatic landscape of Calhoun County in this modern topographic record. Near the village of Marengo, the river course is shadowed by the historic E Michigan Ave and the Marengo Village Cem, reflecting a long-standing settlement pattern along these vital water corridors. The northern reaches are a complex mosaic of kettle lakes and wetlands, including Duck Lake, Prairie Lake, and the smaller Winnipeg Lake.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the dense distribution of family-named burial sites, such as Krenerick Cem, Sampson Cem, and Dyer Cem. Educational development is represented by the Kellogg Community College Eastern Academic Center, while the grid of numbered roads like 24 Mile Rd and 27 Mile Rd provides a clear framework for locating vanished homesteads or tracing property lines across the historic townships of t1s r5w and t2s r4w.
