2023 Map of Crystal

A network of local roads such as Vickeryville Rd and Kendaville Rd connects the small community of Ferris and the Center Cem to the surrounding townships. The area is defined by its glacial hydrology, with Fish Creek and Butternut Creek draining the wetlands that separate the farmed uplands. This map documents the persistent layout of these central Michigan townships, where 19th-century settlement patterns remain visible in the placement of cemeteries and the tight concentration of buildings along the primary lakeshore.
