About this map

Clayton and Seneca anchor this survey of southwestern Lenawee County, where a dense network of country roads like Morenci HWY and Seneca HWY connects several historic crossroads settlements. The landscape is defined by its intricate drainage patterns, featuring the S Br River Raisin in the north and the Tiffin River to the south. Numerous named drains and creeks, including Bear Cr and Stony Cr, weave through the township, reflecting the agricultural character of this Michigan borderland.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of local burial grounds such as Dover Center Cem, Canandaigua Cem, and Porter Cem, which are scattered throughout the agricultural tracts. Smaller water bodies like Demings Lake and Vales Lake punctuate the grid of section lines, while the community of Canandaigua remains a central point of interest in the western portion of the quadrangle.
