About this map

Glacial lakes and residential expansion define the landscape south of Kalamazoo as it appeared in the early 21st century. The community of Texas Corners serves as a central hub, surrounded by modern residential developments like Saddlebrook Farms and Wyngate Farms. The area is densely punctuated by water bodies, including Eagle Lake, Crooked Lake, and the larger Sugarloaf Lake to the southeast.

Genealogists and local historians can trace legacy sites such as Pretty Lake Cemetery, Hope Cemetery, and Harrison Cemetery positioned among the evolving suburban grid. Public and private recreation areas like Camp Rota-Kiwan and Whitcomb Field sit alongside small aviation facilities like Perry Airport, illustrating the mix of residential life and outdoor space characteristic of this Michigan township. Waterways such as Portage Creek and its tributary, West Fork Portage Creek, link several smaller ponds and millponds, including Atwater Millpond and Limekiln Lake.
