About this map

Stanton serves as the focal point of this Montcalm County landscape, anchored by the Montcalm County Courthouse and a gridded street plan that defines the local seat of government. To the north, the small settlements of Westville and McBride dot the countryside, connected by a network of rural roads such as Coral Rd NE and Kendaville Rd. The terrain is defined by its numerous glacial water bodies, including the Twin Stone Lakes, Half Moon Lake, and Derby Lake, which sit alongside the drainage of West Branch Fish Creek.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the documentation of several burial grounds, including Forest Hill Cem, McBrides Cem, and Palmer Cem. The presence of Montcalm Community College in the southwest corner and the Fred Meijer Heartland Trl cutting diagonally across the township illustrates the modern evolution of this rural Michigan community from its nineteenth-century agricultural roots.
