About this map

Britton and Deerfield anchor this southeastern Michigan landscape, where the flat agricultural terrain is defined by a complex network of drains and creek branches. The River Raisin and Little River Raisin wind through the southern portion of the quadrangle, while Swamp Raisin Cr and Macon Cr drain the northern sections. This topography necessitated an extensive system of man-made waterways like Wahoo Prairie Drain and Coats Drain to support the region's farming heritage.

Local history and genealogy are preserved in several rural burial grounds, including the Speigel Cem near the western boundary and the Bragg Cem to the east. The map also records the location of the Saint Alphonse Cem and the Village Cem within the Deerfield area. These sites, along with the transition from Ridgeway to the more developed town centers, illustrate the settlement patterns of Lenawee and Monroe Counties.
