About this map

The Grand River and its numerous tributaries, including Carrier Cr and Whaley Drain, carve a path through this developed region on the outskirts of Lansing. This era shows a complex suburban and industrial landscape where modern transit corridors intersect with the older agrarian foundations of Eaton and Ingham counties. Evidence of the area's long-settled history is found in numerous local burial grounds, such as Delta Center Cem near Delta Center and the Pray Cem to the south.

Smaller established communities like Dimondale and Millett maintain their identities amidst the expanding reach of the state capital's infrastructure. Hydrological features like Lake Delta and the winding Silver Cr provide natural breaks in the grid of local roads and highways. For genealogists and local historians, the map offers a clear view of the transition between the dense residential areas of Waverly and the more open terrain surrounding West Windsor and Potterville.
