2019 Map of Attica

About this map

Attica and Lum anchor this Lapeer County landscape, where complex drainage systems and glacially-formed lakes define the local geography. The area is characterized by an extensive network of managed waterways, including the Palmer Br Drain, Sickles Drain, and Earl Br Drain, which navigate the terrain between significant water bodies like Lake Pleasant and Fish Lake. The Polly Ann State Trail cuts a diagonal path through the northern half of the quadrangle, following a former rail corridor that historically connected these rural communities. For those researching local families, the map identifies several burial grounds, including Bahel Cem, Lum Cem, Attica Cem, and Roscoe Cem, reflecting the distribution of early settlements. The southern portion of the sheet is marked by the headwaters of the Belle River and the N Br Belle River, showing the transition from marshy lowlands to a more defined river system.
