The Flat River winds through the heart of this landscape, anchoring the settlements of Smyrna and Moseley. This area, situated at the intersection of Kent, Montcalm, and Ionia Counties, is defined by its numerous glacial lakes and a transition from rural farmland to the outskirts of Belding. A significant modern feature is the Fred Meijer Flat River Valley Trail, which traces the path of an older transportation corridor across the river near the landmark Whites Bridge. Genealogists will find a high density of burial grounds throughout the countryside, including Otisco Cem, Mason Cem, and Saint Marys Catholic Cem near the riverbanks.
