About this map

The Little Thornapple River and Coldwater River system defines the hydrology of this Barry County landscape, where small agricultural settlements and family-named landmarks mark the terrain. The village of Woodland serves as the primary hub, containing the Woodland Post Office, while smaller points of interest like Coats Grove and Carlton sit further west. The rural layout is characterized by a high density of small lakes, including Lawhead Lake, Bullhead Lake, and the larger Thornapple Lake at the southern boundary.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of burial grounds across the township. The map preserves the locations of the Barnum Neighborhood Cemetery, Fuller Cemetery, and Warner Cemetery, providing specific coordinates for ancestral research. The drainage patterns of Mud Creek and Gravel Brook illustrate the natural landscape that dictated the placement of these early crossroads communities and the surrounding farmsteads.
