2011 Map of East Dayton

About this map

East Dayton and Dayton serve as the primary coordinates for this rural landscape in Tuscola County, where the agricultural grid is interrupted by winding watercourses. The drainage of the region is defined by Sucker Creek in the north and the Daytona Branch of Butternut Creek, reflecting the importance of water management in this farming district. In the southern portion of the quadrangle, Harmon Lake and Cat Lake sit amidst a network of local routes like Cat Lake Hills Rd, marking a shift toward the more varied topography of the lake country. Genealogists will find the North Wells Cemetery and East Dayton Cemetery clearly plotted along the township roads, while local history is further preserved in names like Boy Scout Rd and Tin Bill Rd. The map illustrates a contemporary view of these traditional Michigan townships, showing how modern infrastructure follows the long-established section lines.
