About this map

Dexter serves as the focal point of this survey, situated at the confluence where Mill Creek meets the Huron River. The village layout is detailed with its historic street grid, including Broad St, Central St, and Ann Arbor St, alongside several religious and memorial sites such as Saint Andrews and Forest Lawn Cem. West of the village, the landscape transitions into a mosaic of wetlands and small lakes, most notably Fourmile Lake, which is surrounded by the small community of the same name.

Genealogists will find a high density of burial grounds throughout the townships, from the Chelsea Dexter Road Cem in the west to the Salem Lutheran Church Cem in the southeast corner. Small historic crossroads like Lima Center and Jerusalem persist as identifiable markers of the rural settlement pattern. The inclusion of the Huron River Water Trail (Upper Reach) highlights the river’s modern role for recreation, contrasting with its foundational role in the development of the early milling and transport economy in Washtenaw County.
