2019 Map of Rockford

About this map

The Grand River and its tributary, the Rogue River, dominate this landscape north of Grand Rapids. The suburban expansion of Northview and Belmont is documented alongside traditional rural landmarks such as Rockford Cem and the Plainfield Township Cem and Columbarium. The northern portion of the map shows the city of Rockford, while the eastern edge includes the protected woodlands of the Cannonsburg State Game Area. Genealogists will find several burial grounds, including the Friant Cem and Mason Cem, situated among the residential developments. The corridor of the Fred Meijer White Pine Trail State Park follows a former rail line, cutting through the terrain near several small lakes like Dunlop Lake and Shadow Lake, illustrating the area's transition from an industrial and agricultural hub into a recreational and residential extension of the greater Grand Rapids area.
