2019 Map of Alma North

About this map

The Alma and St. Louis corridor in central Michigan is defined by a dense grid of rural roads and the winding path of the Pine River. This landscape, spanning the border of Isabella and Gratiot counties, highlights the proximity of Alma College to the residential and industrial outskirts of the two neighboring cities. The drainage patterns of Salt Creek, Little Salt Creek, and Honeyoey Creek reflect the agricultural nature of the land between smaller settlements like Forest Hill and Summerton. Local genealogy is well-supported by several smaller burial grounds, including Brady Cemetery, Wright Cemetery, and Coe Cemetery, which are scattered among the farmsteads and sections. The presence of Madison Lake and various smaller water bodies provide a break in the geometric township and range layout that dominates this region.
