About this map

The River Raisin meanders through this agricultural landscape in southeastern Michigan, defining the layout and growth of Blissfield. This village is characterized by its organized street grid including W Adrian St and High St, reflecting its importance as a local center of commerce and transport. The surrounding terrain is heavily influenced by a sophisticated drainage network essential for the region's farming heritage, featuring the Flager-and-Wadsworth Drain, Floodwood Creek, and Burton and White Drain.

Family history and genealogy are well-represented by several local burial grounds, including Crane Cem and Riga Cem near the settlement of Riga. Transport legacy is further evidenced by Betz Airport and the corridor along Railroad St. The map also captures the precise boundary between Lenawee Co and Monroe Co, illustrating how administrative lines intersect with the natural flow of the River Raisin and the regional highway system.
