About this map

Cement City sits at the intersection of Jackson, Lenawee, and Hillsdale counties, serving as a focal point for this landscape defined by an intricate network of glacial lakes and drains. The northern portion is dominated by Lake Columbia and Clark Lake, where the community of Eagle Point juts into the water. Significant local history is preserved in numerous burial grounds across the townships, including Cement City Cem, Clarklake Cem, and the more secluded Pratt Cem near the southern border.

The hydrology of the region is complex, with the River Raisin flowing through the east while Goose Creek and various agricultural channels like Kedron Drain and Burk Drain manage the local water table. Prominent elevations such as Prospect Hill and Irish Hill rise above the basin of Devils Lake and South Lake, providing topographic variety to this part of southern Michigan. The map captures the residential growth surrounding Manitou Beach-Devils Lake and the established settlement at Jefferson during the early twenty-first century.
