2014 Map of East Leroy

About this map

East Leroy and the surrounding rural townships of southern Calhoun County are defined by a network of family-named cemeteries and small agricultural junctions. This 2014 survey captures the landscape south of Battle Creek, where the terrain is drained by Nottawa Cr and Pine Cr. Genealogical value is high across this quadrangle, as it meticulously identifies several burial grounds including Morgan Cem, Mather Cem, German Cem, Abscota Cem, and Walker Cem. Local road patterns connect historic nodes like Sonoma, Morgan Corners, and Stanley Corners. The presence of numerous drains and brooks, such as the Miller and Melody Drain and Waterman Drain, illustrates the managed hydrology necessary for the region's agricultural productivity. Shoreline developments are visible around Graham Lake and Sonoma Lake, reflecting the shift from purely agrarian uses to modern residential recreation.
