About this map

Alma serves as the northern anchor of this Gratiot County landscape, where the Pine River winds through the city’s southern edge. The map captures a detailed grid of rural township roads, revealing the agricultural and residential structure between the northern urban center and the smaller settlement of Eugene further south. Notable for family history researchers, the terrain is dotted with local burial grounds including Pritchard Cem, Bailey Cem, and the Roosa Farm Cem near the western boundary.

Water management and drainage patterns are heavily documented, from the Newark and Arcadia Drain to the southern reaches of the Bad River and Pine Creek. The central landscape is defined by the Gratiot Community Airport, situated near the intersection of W Polk Rd and N Luce Rd. This modern survey provides a precise layout of current land use, from the residential streets of Alma like S State St to the isolated farmsteads that characterize the southern townships.
