2011 Map of Chelsea

About this map

Chelsea serves as the primary hub of this eastern Michigan landscape, surrounded by a dense network of glacial lakes and rolling high points. The terrain is defined by features like Sugarloaf Hill and Stofer Hill, which overlook a complex hydrology including the Winnewana Impoundment and Cavanaugh Lake. This 2011 survey captures the area's rural character and long-standing community markers, such as Vermont Cemetery and Mount Olivet Cemetery. Smaller clusters like Sylvan Center and Guthrie are connected by local routes like Old Us HWY 12, which runs parallel to the modern interstate corridor. The map is particularly useful for identifying established recreation sites such as Camp Ma-Hi-Ya and Light House Camp, as well as the numerous family-named landmarks and water bodies like Walsh Lake and McLaughlin Lake that illustrate the regional topography of Washtenaw County.
