2019 Map of Sand Lake SW

About this map

The Rogue River meanders south through this corner of Newaygo and Kent counties, defining a landscape shaped by a complex network of wetlands and drainage systems. Artificial waterways like Veenboer Drain, Plaiser Drain, and Geers Drain demonstrate the region's managed hydrology, which supports the surrounding rural acreage. To the east, a cluster of glacial lakes including Moore Lake, Frey Lake, and Baldwin Lake dot the terrain, while the residential development at Chrishaven Lake provides a modern settlement anchor in the southern sections. This area is also a corridor for outdoor recreation, as the North Country National Scenic Trail winds through the river valley. The topography is largely gentle, punctuated by prominent features such as Prenton Ridge in the southeast corner near Spring Cr.
