About this map

Deerfield stands as a focal point in this landscape of the Lenawee and Monroe County border, where the winding River Raisin and Little River Raisin converge. The agricultural character of the region is defined by a dense network of drainage systems, including Swamp Raisin Cr, Wahoo Prairie Drain, and Kelly Drain, illustrating the engineering required to manage the low-lying plains. To the north, the settlements of Britton and Ridgeway are connected by arterial roads like W Chicago Blvd and E Monroe Rd.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the distribution of several rural burial grounds, including Speigel Cem, Bragg Cem, and the Saint Alphonse Cem near Deerfield. The presence of Brablec Farms Airport north of the river and various family-named drains like Schreeder Brook and Sutton Drain provides a clear view of how individual landholdings and small-scale infrastructure shaped the local geography into the twenty-first century.
