How to Use This Beechwood, Michigan Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Beechwood, Michigan. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture. Drag the map to pan to any area of Michigan or beyond.
Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).
TOPO MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row offering three choices. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows the official USGS topographic maps from The National Map — contours, hydrography, land cover and shaded relief, the same mapping used for hiking, hunting and back-country navigation in the Adirondacks, the Catskills and the Finger Lakes. Imagery shows USGS aerial photography, mostly 1-metre NAIP. The search box finds any US town, county or landmark by name, so you are not limited to Beechwood.
Reading the map like a paper quad. Click Grid to overlay the U.S. National Grid (USNG), labelled along the edges exactly as a printed topographic sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass.
Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as a USNG grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — USNG being the format FEMA and US search and rescue teams work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need cell coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your coordinates stay correct even where the map itself cannot load.

About Beechwood, Michigan
Beechwood is a locality in Ottawa County, Michigan, United States. It has a population of approximately 3,121. The population density is 665.0 people per km². Beechwood is located at 42.7990°N, 86.1218°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/Detroit) timezone. ZIP codes: 49047, 49935, 49424.Beechwood occupies the low-slung, fertile terrain that gathers along the southern edge of Lake Macatawa. It lies 1.1 miles northwest of Holland, MI (from Holland, MI: bearing 307°T), and is situated 5.5 miles west of Zeeland.
The Macatawa River winds through the landscape a mere mile away, feeding the wider basin and shaping the slow, deliberate movement of the local water table. In the distance, the silhouette of Pelican Peak marks the horizon, a quiet reminder of the elevation changes that define the broader region. Howard B. Dunton Park provides a narrow, green aperture to the water, where the light at dusk settles in heavy, amber layers upon the reeds and the dark, silt-laden banks. The air here carries a damp, earthy weight, influenced by the expansive inland sky and the persistent, cooling breath of the lake as it presses against the shoreline.
Beechwood maintains a character forged by the steady intersection of agricultural legacy and the quiet demands of regional commerce. The economy remains tethered to the rhythmic cycles of the land, drawing strength from the surrounding orchards and the logistical pulse of the nearby river corridors. Historical patterns of settlement are still legible in the distribution of the older homes and the layout of the primary thoroughfares, which follow the natural contours of the basin rather than the rigid geometry of newer expansions. Daily life in Beechwood proceeds with a measured, unadorned efficiency, where the sound of the wind moving through the nearby woodlands often serves as the primary clock for those passing through the quiet, shaded streets.

About This Beechwood Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Beechwood, Michigan. Coordinates: 42.798987, -86.1218. Live weather conditions are sourced directly from the National Weather Service. Real-time local and world news feeds keep the page current.
Detailed location data for Beechwood includes the ZIP code (49047, 49935, 49424), telephone area code (906, 616), county seat of Ottawa County (Grand Haven), and school district assignment (West Ottawa Public School District).
Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any US town, county or landmark by name; offers USGS topographic maps and USGS aerial imagery as base layers; overlays a labelled U.S. National Grid (USNG) so the map can be read like a printed topographic quad; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as a USNG grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require cell coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.
Location data is drawn from the USGS Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) and cross-verified against 2020 US Census records by coordinate proximity. Population figures are sourced from the 2020 US Census.
