2011 Map of Rockford

About this map

The Rogue River and Grand River converge in this northern Kent County landscape, shaping a corridor of settlements from Rockford down toward the outskirts of Grand Rapids. This 2011 survey illustrates the modern transition of historic riverside towns like Childsdale and Chauncey into a suburban landscape defined by recreational and residential growth. Genealogists and local historians will find a high concentration of burial grounds, including the Old Rockford Cemetery, Blythefield Memorial Gardens, and the Friant Cemetery, providing a clear record of local family lineages. The map also documents significant recreational infrastructure, such as the Cannonsburg Ski Area, the Grand Rogue Campgrounds, and the White Pine Trl which follows a legacy rail corridor through the heart of Rockford. A series of small lakes, including Versluis Lake and Dunlop Lake, dot the terrain between the primary river valleys.
