2019 Map of Chelsea

About this map

The village of Chelsea anchors this survey of western Washtenaw County, showcasing a landscape defined by glacial topography and an extensive network of inland waters. The area's commitment to recreation and conservation is evident through the Waterloo Rec Area - Waterloo-Pinckney Hiking Trail and the complex of reservoirs like Winnewana Impoundment. Significant elevation changes are marked by Sugarloaf Hill and Riley Hill, while the lowlands are saturated with named bodies of water including Cavanaugh Lake and Mill Lake. Local history and genealogy are well-represented by numerous burial grounds such as Vermont Cem and Maple Grove Cem near Sylvan Center. Small settlements like Guthrie and Lanewood appear along the road network, while Winters Field provides a distinct aviation landmark in this largely rural and residential terrain.
