2019 Map of Breckenridge

About this map

Breckenridge and the neighboring community of Wheeler sit at the heart of this central Michigan agricultural landscape, straddling the border of Gratiot and Midland counties. The region is defined by a dense grid of rural roads and an extensive network of managed waterways, including Bullock Cr, Bush Cr, and Handy Cr, which facilitate drainage across the level township sections. Smaller settlements like Teeterville, Redstone, and North Wheeler are situated along key intersections, illustrating the historical distribution of trade and residence in this farming community. Genealogical interest is centered on several burial sites, specifically Rose Lawn Cem near the western edge and the Wheeler Township Cem further east. The map detail highlights how the local economy and infrastructure remain closely tied to the rectangular survey system and the vital drainage routes like Weeks Drain and the Corbat Drain.
