How to Use This Burnips, Michigan Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Burnips, 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 Burnips.
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 Burnips, Michigan
Burnips is a locality in Allegan County, Michigan, United States. It is a small community with a population of 480. The population density is 8.0 people per km². Burnips is located at 42.7320°N, 85.8395°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/Detroit) timezone. ZIP codes: 49323, 49314.Burnips maintains a quiet equilibrium upon the flat, fertile plains of the Michigan interior, defined largely by the steady, unpretentious flow of the Little Rabbit River as it carves through the local silt. It lies 4.1 miles east of Oakland, MI (from Oakland, MI: bearing 97°T), and is situated 6.5 miles south of Jamestown. The landscape here is one of wide, expansive horizons where the sky claims more territory than the earth, occasionally punctuated by the distant, muted silhouette of Beach Hill rising seven miles to the horizon. To the west, the presence of East Lake anchors the regional geography, its massive body of water exerting a subtle influence on the local humidity and the quality of the evening light, which often turns a bruised, heavy violet as it settles over the fields. The air carries the scent of damp soil and drying stalks, a crisp reminder that the Allegan State Forest lies only fifteen miles away, acting as a green, breathing lung for the surrounding country.
Burnips functions as a disciplined intersection of agrarian tradition and the slow, mechanical pulse of regional commerce, where the rhythm of the day is dictated by the turning of the seasons rather than the frantic pace of the outside world. The economic lifeblood of the area remains tethered to the productivity of the surrounding acreage, though the proximity of the Lake Monterey Golf Course provides a singular point of recreation that draws travelers from beyond the immediate vicinity. Life here is marked by a deep-seated stoicism, a remnant of the early settlers who broke the heavy sod to forge a livelihood from the stubborn, rich dirt. Even as modernization touches the periphery, the core of Burnips remains committed to a straightforward existence, where the primary concerns involve the health of the harvest, the maintenance of the county roads, and the seasonal migration of life through the nearby Beaver Meadow.

About This Burnips Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Burnips, Michigan. Coordinates: 42.731973, -85.839475. 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 Burnips includes the ZIP code (49323, 49314), telephone area code (616), county seat of Allegan County (Allegan), and school district assignment.
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.
