2017 Map of Byron

About this map

The Shiawassee River and its South Branch Shiawassee River anchor this landscape at the junction of Shiawassee, Genesee, and Livingston counties. Centered on the village of Byron, the area is defined by a sophisticated network of agricultural drainage systems, including the Burns and Vernon Drain and the Cohoctah and Barnum Drain, which have long supported the local farming economy. To the north, the settlement of Gaines sits near the county line, while the southern reaches feature Cohoctah and Cohoctah Center. The geography is dotted with several water bodies such as Kanause Lake and McKane Lake, alongside numerous family-named burial sites like Atherton Cem and Pine Tree Cem, providing critical landmarks for those tracing lineage in these rural townships.
