About this map

Decker and the small settlement of Hemans anchor this rural landscape in the Thumb region of Michigan. The area is defined by a strictly organized grid of agricultural roads, including Snover RD and Germania RD, which cut across the meandering paths of North Branch White Creek and the South Branch Cass River. These waterways provided the natural drainage essential for the development of the surrounding farmland.

For those researching local family history, the map identifies critical landmarks like the Moshier Cemetery and Germania Cemetery, as well as the Decker Post Office. The presence of the Innes Acres Airport provides evidence of modern aviation footprints in an otherwise traditional farming community. The map illustrates the 2011 state of these unincorporated communities, preserving the location of homestead-linked roads such as Moriarity RD and Mcclure RD before further consolidation or changes in land use occur.
