2011 Map of Wayland

About this map

Wayland and the surrounding townships in Allegan County are defined by a grid of agricultural land and the meandering paths of the Rabbit River and its tributaries. The landscape in this 2011 survey is anchored by several distinct settlements along the north-south corridor, including Dorr, Moline, and Bradley. A collection of historic burial grounds provides valuable genealogical data, such as Saint Stanislaus' Catholic Cemetery near Hilliards and Elmwood Cemetery to the south. Local aviation is represented by the Wayland Municipal Airport and the Senneker Landing Strip, reflecting the region's flat geography and rural infrastructure. The waterway network, featuring Buskirk Creek, Red Run, and Little Rabbit River, underscores the importance of drainage and irrigation for the productive farmlands that span between the primary north-south thoroughfares. Researching families will find specific neighborhood locations like the Hungry Horse Campground and local post offices in each primary village center.
