About this map

The Raisin River meanders sharply across this southeastern Michigan landscape, defining the layout of the primary settlements at Dundee and Petersburg. By the early 1970s, the area maintained a distinct agricultural character, with long, straight sections of Richardson Road and Day Road sectioning the terrain. The presence of several small airfields, including Gradolph Airfield and the Lada Airport, suggests a local history of private aviation alongside the traditional rail economy.

Logistics and transport are central to the region's development, evidenced by the confluence of the Penn Central Railroad, the Ann Arbor Railroad, and the Detroit Toledo and Ironton Railroad. Genealogists will find notable burial sites such as Maple Grove Cem and Oak Grove Cem situated near the riverbanks. To the south, the Petersburg State Game Management Area preserves a significant portion of the natural environment near the Otter Creek drainage.
