About this map

Glacial lakes and small rural communities define this intersection of Newaygo, Montcalm, and Kent Counties. The village of Sand Lake serves as a primary hub in the south, while the community of Pierson and the crossroad settlement of Ensley Center anchor the northern reaches. The landscape is notably dense with water bodies of varying sizes, from the larger Whitefish Lake and Little Whitefish Lake to more secluded spots like Baptist Lake and No-Ko-Mos Lake.

Genealogical interest is found in the distribution of local burial grounds, including the N Ensley Cem near the northern boundary and Crandall Cem further south. The transportation network is a mix of established county roads like 22 Mile Rd NE and small aviation facilities such as North Cedar Airport and Wilds Field Airport, reflecting the region's low-density residential and agricultural character during the early 21st century.
