Observatory Towercam

An Elevated Rural Panorama

Mounted high on the Newaygo County RESA observatory tower, this camera commands a wide-angle sweep across the agricultural heart of West Michigan. The vantage stretches over patchwork fields, fenced pastures and a broad open sky, giving a sense of the region's gently undulating terrain.

Working Farmland & Grazing Herds

In the foreground, cattle roam fenced pasture while neat rows of orchard and cropland trace the contours of the land. A small red barn anchors the middle distance, a classic marker of this quietly productive farming landscape.

Sherman Township & the Newaygo Countryside

The view looks out over Sherman Township near Fremont, a community known across the region for its farms, orchards and freshwater lakes. Distant treelines and a shimmer of water mark the wider Newaygo County scenery beyond.

An Educational Vantage Point

Operated by the Newaygo County Regional Educational Service Agency, the tower doubles as an observation platform, offering students and viewers alike an unusually expansive window onto the surrounding rural landscape.
