2017 Map of Deerfield

About this map

Deerfield and Britton anchor this detailed landscape in southeastern Michigan, showing a region defined by agricultural heritage and a complex network of hydrological engineering. The terrain is crisscrossed by numerous managed waterways such as Coats Drain, Wahoo Prairie Drain, and Dunlap Drain, which support the intensive farming indicated by the local road grid. The River Raisin and its various tributaries, including the Little River Raisin and Swamp Raisin Cr, provide the primary natural drainage for the area. Genealogists and local historians will find several burial grounds noted, including Deerfield Village Cem, Saint Alphonse Cem, Speigel Cem, and Bragg Cem. The presence of the Brablec Farms Airport near Britton highlights the integration of aviation into the rural landscape, while the strict township-and-range lines of the Public Land Survey System organize the various farmsteads and rural roads.
