About this map

Carson City serves as the primary hub in this portion of central Michigan, situated at the boundary of Montcalm and Gratiot counties. The town is anchored by Mill Pond and the waters of Butternut Creek, with its street grid including West Elm Street and East Main Street clearly delineated. The surrounding landscape is defined by an intricate network of agricultural drainage systems, such as the Knowles Drain and McQuaig Drain, which have long supported the region's farming economy.

Local history and genealogy are well-preserved through several established burial grounds, including the Carson City Cemetery, Saint Marys Cemetery, and New Haven Center Cemetery. Small rural clusters like Sethon, New Haven Center, and Brice dot the township intersections, providing a look at the dispersed settlement patterns of the early twenty-first century. Natural watercourses like the River Styx and Fish Creek weave through the sections, following the low-lying terrain between well-traveled corridors like Mount Hope Road.
