About this map

Texas Corners and the surrounding Kalamazoo County landscape are defined by a complex network of glacial kettle lakes and modern suburban expansion in this recent survey. To the north, the campus of Kalamazoo Valley Community College sits near the headwaters of W Fork Portage Cr, while residential developments push westward from the borders of Portage and Kalamazoo. The terrain is punctuated by numerous water bodies, including Eagle Lake, Crooked Lake, and Pretty Lake, which features the notable Pine Island.

Genealogists and local historians will find value in the documented locations of Hope Cem and Harrison Cem, as well as small aviation landmarks like Perry Airport and Whitcomb Field. The southern reaches of the map transition into more open land near Schoolcraft, where the waters of Sugarloaf Lake and Little Sugarloaf Lake dominate the hydrology. The grid of country roads, from Stadium Dr to W V Ave, provides a precise framework for tracing property boundaries and late 20th-century land use changes.
