About this map

Bridgewater and Rogers Corner anchor this portion of Washtenaw County, where the agricultural landscape is heavily dotted with rural cemeteries and small inland lakes. The concentration of burial sites, including Saint Francis Catholic Cem, Zion Lutheran Cem, and the Freedom Emanuel Evangelical Memorial Cem, points to the diverse denominational roots of the early German and European settlers who cleared these townships.

Water plays a central role in the topography, with the Saline River and River Raisin carving through the glacial terrain. Larger water bodies like Pleasant Lake, Columbia Lake, and Silver Lake are surrounded by a network of section-line roads such as Lima Center Rd and Schneider Rd. This survey preserves the exact placement of family-named landmarks like Shellenberger Road Cem and Fletcher Road Cem, offering a clear view of the rural community structure in the early twenty-first century.
