About this map

Reed City serves as the focal point of this 2017 survey, situated at the junction of major transit corridors and the historic rail-to-trail conversion of the Fred Meijer White Pine Trail State Park. The landscape is defined by the intersection of four counties—Lake, Osceola, Newaygo, and Mecosta—creating a complex jurisdictional boundary zone. The western portion of the map is dominated by the Manistee National Forest, while the rest of the terrain is a grid of section roads and small agricultural settlements like Hawkins and Paris.

Genealogists will find a high density of rural burial grounds, including the Barton Township Cem, Woodland Cem, and the Mennonite Cem. Waterways such as Buckhorn Cr and Paris Cr traverse the township squares, illustrating the drainage patterns that shaped the early development of this timber and farming region. The map preserves the exact layout of village streets in the northern reaches of Reed City, from W Lincoln Ave to W Jeffery St.
