2017 Map of Bridgewater

About this map

Bridgewater and Rogers Corner anchor this Washtenaw County landscape, characterized by a dense distribution of rural burial grounds and glacial lakes. Numerous family and denominational sites such as Zion Lutheran Cem, Freedom Emanuel Evangelical Memorial Cem, and Saint Francis Catholic Cem are scattered across the township grid, reflecting the early settlement patterns of the region's diverse congregations. The terrain is marked by significant water bodies, including the central Pleasant Lake and Columbia Lake to the south, while the Saline River and River Raisin provide the primary drainage. The road network follows a rigid section-line system, with labels like Lima Center Rd and W Ellsworth Rd connecting these agrarian communities. This survey documents the intersection of 19th-century church and cemetery locations with the modern residential developments concentrated along the shorelines of the local lakes.
