2011 Map of Blissfield

About this map

The River Raisin meanders through this agricultural landscape in southeastern Michigan, anchoring the settlement of Blissfield as it appeared in the early 21st century. The map reveals a highly structured grid of section lines and drainage systems, such as Camp Drain and the Burton and White Drain, which define the region's productive farmland. Small communities and rural hubs like Riga and Ottawa Lake are detailed, showing the placement of essential civic landmarks including the Blissfield Post Office and the Riga Post Office. Local history is deeply etched into the land through numerous burial grounds, including Crane Cemetery, Logan Cemetery, Riga Cemetery, and Pleasant View Cemetery, providing valuable points of reference for genealogists. To the northwest, Betz Airport stands as a notable modern landmark amidst the predominantly rural landscape, while Floodwood Creek serves as a primary tributary through the central fields.
