About this map

The Kalamazoo River and its tributary, the Gun River, define the industrial and civic layout of this Michigan corridor. The neighboring cities of Otsego and Plainwell are shown in high detail, with their respective dams—Otsego Dam and Plainwell Dam—reflecting a legacy of water-powered development. The landscape is heavily marked by local heritage sites, including Pine Creek Cemetery, Saint Margaret Cemetery, and Woodside Cemetery, providing critical points of interest for genealogists tracing family histories in the region.

Further south, the community of Alamo sits near the headwaters of Sand Creek, while a cluster of small lakes such as Ruppert Lake, Murry Lake, and Hipps Lake dot the southwestern corner. Infrastructure like the Otsego-Plainwell Municipal Airport and the Otsego Post Office anchor the urban centers, while the Prairiewood Golf Course and American Campgrounds show the shift toward modern recreation and land use.
