2014 Map of Alma South

About this map

The Pine River meanders through the heart of this central Michigan landscape, connecting the southern outskirts of Alma to the surrounding agricultural townships. The grid of rural roads, including N Ely Hwy and W Washington Rd, defines a territory marked by family heritage and local landmarks. Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of burial sites across the quadrangle, from Riverside Cem and Pritchard Cem in the north to the Roosa Farm Cem and Bailey Cem further south and east. Modern infrastructure like the Gratiot Community Airport sits alongside historic watercourses such as Coles Creek and Honeyoey Creek. Small pockets of settlement like Eugene and the western edge of Ithaca provide anchor points for those tracing the development of Gratiot County’s township-and-range system near the headwaters of the Bad River.
