About this map

The Alma city limits and the rural stretches of Gratiot County define this landscape, where the Pine River meanders through the northern section past Riverside Cem. This 2019 survey documents a transition from the structured street grid of the southern edge of Alma to the expansive agricultural grid of Arcada and Newark townships. The Gratiot Community Airport serves as a central landmark between the larger settlements and the smaller locality of Eugene.

Family history is preserved in several burial grounds including Bailey Cem, Pritchard Cem, and the uniquely named Roosa Farm Cem. Water management is prominent throughout the map, shown by the complex network of artificial and natural waterways such as the Newark Drain and Newark and Arcadia Drain. For recreation, the Alma Mountain Bike Trail follows the river's edge, highlighting contemporary land use alongside traditional farming.
