2019 Map of Wayland

About this map

The Rabbit River and its various tributaries, including the Little Rabbit River, Buskirk Creek, and Red Run, define the hydrology of this rural Allegan County landscape. The area is anchored by the established settlements of Wayland and Dorr, with smaller clusters at Moline, Hilliards, and Bradley. These communities are connected by a grid of agricultural section roads and the prominent north-south corridor of US Highway 131. A high concentration of local burial grounds, such as Saint Stanislaus Catholic Cemetery, Dorr Cemetery, Elmwood Cemetery, and Maplewood Cemetery, provides a wealth of data for genealogists tracing family histories in the township. Further east, the terrain becomes more varied with small glacial kettle lakes like McIntire Lake, Titus Lake, and Doans Lake, while Calkins Field indicates localized aviation activity.
