2014 Map of Ellis Corners

About this map

Ellis Corners sits as a central landmark in this portion of Calhoun County, where agricultural grid roads intersect amid a landscape shaped by glacial drainage patterns. The township's rural character is defined by its numerous small water bodies, including Lee Lake, Warner Lake, and Hyde Lake, which feed into meandering systems like Nottawa Cr and Alder Cr. For local historians and genealogists, the map identifies key burial sites such as Newton Township Cem, Houston Cem, and Barrington Cem, often located near primary transit corridors like 11 Mile RD and Division DR. The intricate network of lettered and numbered roads illustrates a systematic division of land typical of southern Michigan, where small drainages such as Yost Francisco Drain were engineered to support the area's long-standing farming tradition.
