About this map

Woodland sits as the primary settlement in this corner of Barry County, anchored by a grid of rural roads and small water bodies that define the local landscape. The Thornapple River and its various tributaries, including the Little Thornapple River and Butler Creek, create a complex drainage network across the townships of Carlton, Woodland, Hastings, and Castleton. This 1981 survey illustrates a well-established agricultural and rural residential pattern, with dispersed landmarks like the Grange Hall and Wood Grove Ch serving the outlying community.

Local history is preserved in the location of the Fuller Cemetery and the Warner Cemetery Stony Point Church, which mark early settlement nodes. Smaller lakes such as Huckleberry Lake, Bullhead Lake, and Pumpkin Seed Lake are scattered throughout the region, many providing public access for recreation. The presence of numerous Gravel Pits and a Sandpit indicates the importance of local material extraction to the area's infrastructure during this period.
