About this map

The Huron River and the village of Dexter define this 1996 view of Washtenaw County, where the transition from river valley to agricultural uplands is clearly visible. The landscape is a patchwork of conservation areas and historic hamlets, featuring the Chelsea State Game Area and Hudson Mills Metropolitan Park. Cultural markers such as Lima Center and Jerusalem are documented alongside numerous family and community burial grounds, including St Joseph Cem and Parker Cem.

Industrial and transport corridors are well-defined, with the Conrail line cutting across the terrain and numerous gravel pits and marl pits indicating the local extractive economy. Water bodies like Fourmile Lake, Nordman Lake, and Sutton Lake are prominent, while the winding course of Mill Creek and its North Fork provide the primary drainage. This 1996 update, based on 1963 topography, illustrates the mid-to-late 20th-century development of these township boundaries.
