About this map

Tuscola County farmland and glacial hydrology define this area of Michigan, where the small settlements of Dayton and East Dayton serve as local hubs. The landscape is marked by a complex network of waterways including Butternut Cr, Sucker Cr, and the winding Cass River in the northwest. Several small bodies of water like Harmon Lake and Cat Lake sit near the southern boundary, connected by man-made improvements such as the Phelps Lake Drain.

For those researching the local community, the map identifies key burial grounds such as North Wells Cem and E Dayton Cem. The rural road system follows a rigid section-line grid, featuring curiously named routes like Mushroom Rd and Tin Bill Rd. The presence of the Daytona Branch park area and the transition from flat fields to more varied topography near the lakes provides a clear picture of the township's physical development in the early 21st century.
