About this map

The Addison Millpond and the upper reaches of Bean Cr anchor this section of Lenawee County, where the transition between agricultural lands and the recreational waters of the Irish Hills region is clearly visible. The village of Addison and the resort community of Manitou Beach-Devils Lake represent the primary population centers, while the surrounding landscape is dotted with small, family-named burial grounds like the Sherman Farm Cem and Brownell-Binns Cem. One of the most specific historical markers is the Morehouse Grave, located near the settlement of Rollin.

Hydrography plays a significant role in the local geography, with Devils Lake, Round Lake, and Posey Lake creating a complex network of wetlands and drainage systems including the Horton Drain and Seeley Drain. The map also captures the path of the Rollin Hwy and the boundary line with Hillsdale County, showing how historical transport routes and township grids organized the rural landscape in the early 21st century.
