2010 Map of Adams

About this map

Flatrock River and its tributary, the Little Flatrock River, dominate the drainage of this rural landscape, where grid-patterned county roads connect small, scattered settlements. The historic community of Saint Omer sits along the diagonal corridor of N Michigan Ave and the interstate frontage, while the hamlet of Moscow is situated at a bridge crossing of the main river. For genealogists, the map is particularly valuable for its documentation of numerous burial grounds that serve these small agrarian communities, including the Mount Morrison Cemetery near the northern boundary and Shiloh Cemetery to the southeast. The land is intricately partitioned by drainage ditches and creeks, such as Apple Ditch and Mill Creek, which define the agricultural productivity of the region. Local transit is anchored by named routes like W Skating Rink Rd and S Prill Rd, which provide access to smaller pockets like Downeyville and Adams.
