About this map

The Big S Br Pere Marquette River meanders through this landscape, defining a terrain of creeks and small glacial lakes. Long-standing local history is preserved at the Carr Settlement Cem in the northeast and Colfax Cem near the southern edge. The distribution of these burial grounds and the McCumber Cem reflects the early settlement patterns of Troy Township, where farmsteads were established along roads like Anthony Rd and Hawley Rd.

Natural springs and waterways like Gillen Springs and Ruby Cr feed into the river system, supporting recreation areas such as Misti Pines Campground. The presence of School Section Lake points to the historical reservation of land for public education, a common feature of the township's original survey layout. Small water bodies including Augustine Lake and Hill Lake are scattered throughout, providing a clear picture of the area's hydrology and land use during this era.
