About this map

The settlement of Attica serves as a primary hub for this portion of Lapeer County, where the transition from agriculture to recreational lakefront properties is evident. Numerous cemeteries, including Attica Cem, Lum Cem, Bahel Cem, and Roscoe Cem, provide essential data for genealogists tracing families in the townships of T8N R10E and T8N R11E. The northern hamlet of Lum sits amidst a network of drainage features like Winn Drain and Brant Lake Drain, reflecting the engineering required to manage the area's high water table.

Water bodies dominate the eastern half of the landscape, ranging from the large Lake Pleasant to smaller clusters like Stanton Lakes and Mitchell Lakes. These glaciated basins are interconnected by an intricate system of creeks and man-made drains, such as Elk Lake Cr and Swamp Corners Drain, which feed into the N Br Belle River. The map also captures the local road network, including the vital east-west artery of Imlay City Rd, which links these rural communities.
