2014 Map of Clayton

About this map

Clayton and Seneca anchor this survey of southern Lenawee County, capturing a landscape defined by a dense network of country roads and local drainage systems. The terrain is characterized by numerous small lakes and basins, such as Lake Hudson and Demings Lake, which feed into the intricate waterways of the S Br River Raisin and Stony Cr. For the genealogist, the map identifies several local burial grounds, including S Dover Cem and Porter Cem, scattered among the rural townships. The layout of the small settlements at Canandaigua and Cadmus reflects the area's agricultural history, with many farmstead locations and rural routes like Morey Hwy and Seneca Hwy providing a detailed view of the regional connectivity near the Ohio border.
