2023 Map of Adrian

About this map

Adrian serves as the focal point of this Lenawee County survey, situated at the confluence of several vital waterways including Wolf Creek and the South Branch River Raisin. The landscape is a mix of educational institutions and numerous burial grounds that reflect the long-standing community history of the region. Adrian College and Siena Heights University anchor the urban core, while the periphery is dotted with significant sites like the Saint Joseph's Catholic Cem and the County Poor House Cem. The drainage patterns, defined by features such as Black Creek and the Stevenson Drain, reveal how the natural hydrology of the area was managed to support local development. From the Rex B Martin Judicial Building in the city center to the smaller settlement of Birdsall to the northeast, this map documents the established social and civic infrastructure of this Michigan community in the early 2020s.
