Kalamazoo geography

According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 65.2 km² (25.2 mi²). 63.9 km² (24.7 mi²) of it is land and 1.3 km² (0.5 mi²) of it is water. The total area is 1.99% water, including several lakes. To the south is its largest suburb, Portage, Michigan, which includes the largest collection of major stores in the area.

The city has Kalamazoo-Battle Creek International Airport, which also serves Battle Creek, Michigan, used by several airlines. There is a downtown Amtrak passenger station, which also serves as a bus (coach) station. The Kal-Haven Trail, heavily used by bicyclists and snowmobilers, starts a few miles west of the city limits, though there are plans to extend the trail to the downtown.

Kalamazoo is served by highways Interstate 94, U.S. Highway 131, and Michigan State Highway 43 and Michigan State Highway 96, listed as M-43 and M-96 respectively. It was on the original Territorial Road in Michigan of the 1800s, which started in Detroit and ran to Lake Michigan. Much of that, but not all, later became Old U.S. 12--the "old" designation came about when I-94 was built parallel to it--and also was called Red Arrow Highway after a World War I army division. The name "U.S. 12" was shifted south to what once was U.S. 112 between Detroit and Chicago. Some parts of Old U.S. 12 outside of town, especially in Van Buren County and Berrien County to the west, are still called Red Arrow Highway. The term "Old U.S. 12" has faded from use.
