2014 Map of Alamando

About this map

Coleman and the nearby settlement of Alamando sit at the intersection of a sprawling agricultural landscape and a complex network of waterways in central Michigan. The map documents a territory defined by its drainage systems, featuring the Salt River, S Br Salt River, and the Chippewa River along the southern edge. The rectilinear grid of county roads, including W Saginaw Rd and N Coleman Rd, illustrates the organized township structure that governs the region. Genealogists will find the Warren Township Cem located north of Coleman, a key landmark for local family history research. The presence of numerous named channels like Teed Drain and Carrol Cr Drain reveals the intentional water management necessary to sustain the surrounding farmsteads and rural properties during this era.
