About this map

Brookfield and Partello anchor this agricultural landscape along the county line between Eaton Co and Calhoun Co. The map documents a rural transition where historical township hubs like Clarence Center meet lakefront recreational developments. The southern portion of the sheet is dominated by the waters of Duck Lake, which is lined with small-scale landings including Charlotte Landing and Albion Landing. These sites, along with the nearby Narrow Lake, reflect the region's shift toward seasonal and residential lakeside use.

Genealogists and local historians will find numerous family and community landmarks, including several rural burial grounds such as Fox Cem, Partello Cem, and Sowles Cem. The terrain is defined by a complex network of drainage ditches, such as the Hogle and Miller Ditch and Devil Lake Ditch, which support the surrounding farmland. Waterways like Battle Cr and Big Cr wind through the acreage, connecting the scattered settlements and farmsteads.
