About this map

The Barnes Lake-Millers Lake residential area serves as the central focal point of this Lapeer County landscape, where clustered development around the shorelines contrasts with the surrounding agricultural sections of Rich and Deerfield Townships. Water defines the geography here, with the North Branch Flint River and South Branch Flint River meandering through the terrain alongside an extensive network of drainage systems like the Fostoria Drain and Kester Drain.

Genealogists and local historians will find the W Deerfield Cem situated north of the main lakes, providing a primary point of interest for family research. The map documents numerous smaller water bodies and ponds, including Dipper Lake, Littlefield Lake, and Trune Lake, many of which are accessed by a grid of rural roads such as Burnside Rd and Otter Lake Rd. This survey reflects the modern balance of lakeside recreation and traditional mid-Michigan farming use.
