About this map

The Grand River and its winding tributaries, including the Looking Glass River and Sebewa Creek, dominate this rural landscape in central Michigan. In the north, the city of Portland serves as a local hub, featuring the Portland Post Office and the large Portland City Cemetery. The southern half of the map transition into a grid of agricultural land and scattered smaller settlements like Sunfield and Mulliken, each anchored by its own postal facilities.

Genealogists and local historians can trace several burial grounds across the townships, from the Mathew Cemetery in the northwest to the Meadowbrook Cemetery in the south. Aviation interests are noted by the presence of Hiram Cure Airport and Airbatco Field, while the Grand River Trl follows the river's path, highlighting the area's recreational geography. Small water bodies like Wyman Lake and Cryderman Lake dot the countryside, illustrating the post-glacial topography of Ionia County.
