About this map

Barnes Lake and the meandering North Branch Flint River anchor this landscape in Lapeer County, Michigan. This region is characterized by a dense concentration of small water bodies and glacial drainage features, including Millers Lake, Trune Lake, and Littlefield Lake. The river system is a defining element, with the South Branch Flint River joining the hydraulic network amidst a grid of rural roads like Fostoria RD and Burnside RD.

For those researching local heritage, the West Deerfield Cemetery serves as a primary genealogical landmark. The area's mid-century role as a local destination for outdoor leisure is evident through established sites such as Sutter's Recreation Area, Kings Landing Kamp Ground, and the Crystal Creek Campgrounds. This topography reveals a transitional environment where agricultural drainage like Kester Drain and Forest Drain meets the natural wetlands and lakes that have shaped the county's settlement patterns.
