2019 Map of Browns Corners

About this map

Browns Corners and Dover anchor this rural landscape in Sheridan Township, where a dense network of country roads connects scattered farmsteads and small cemeteries. The area is defined by its complex hydrology, with the Middle Br Tobacco River and N Br Tobacco River winding through terrain dotted with numerous glacial lakes. Genealogists will find significant local value in the distribution of community burial grounds, including Saint John's Lutheran Cem in the northeast and others like Ott Cem, Arthur Cem, and Thompson Cem distributed across the township. The northern reaches feature a cluster of water bodies such as Norway Lake, Bass Lake, and Upper Brennan Lake, illustrating the post-glacial character of the Clare County interior. Further south, Bailey Lake and Round Lake sit near the headwaters of Bailey Cr, highlighting a landscape that remains primarily defined by its natural water features and local rural intersections.
