2014 Map of Stanton

About this map

Stanton serves as a central hub in this agricultural and glacial lake region of Montcalm County. The landscape is defined by a dense concentration of kettle lakes, including Colby Lake, Derby Lake, and the connected Twin Stone Lakes, which influenced early settlement patterns and subsequent recreational development. The map details the rural community of Westville and the village of McBride, along with institutional landmarks like Montcalm Community College. For genealogists, the map identifies several local burial grounds such as Forest Hill Cem and McBrides Cem. The presence of the Heartland Trail crossing through the southern section suggests the conversion of former railroad corridors into modern thoroughfares, while the headwaters of W Br Fish Cr drain the eastern lowlands.
