2011 Map of Dexter

About this map

The confluence of the Huron River and Mill Creek anchors this Washtenaw County landscape, where the village of Dexter serves as the primary hub of activity. The surrounding terrain is defined by a dense network of country roads and glacial water bodies like Fourmile Lake and Nordman Lake, reflecting a transition from historical agricultural roots to modern residential expansion. Genealogical interest is concentrated in the scattered burial grounds that mark early pioneer settlements, including Saint Joseph Cemetery in town and the rural Parker Cemetery to the south. Further west, the map details smaller communities such as Lima Center and Jerusalem, established along established transit corridors. The prominent elevation of Prospect Hill stands as a local landmark amidst the wetlands and creeks that feed the Huron River valley, illustrating the persistent influence of the area's hydrology on its development.
