About this map

The State Prison Farm dominates the central landscape of this 1970 survey, indicating a significant institutional presence north of Leoni. This area east of Jackson is defined by a dense network of glacial water bodies, from the prominent Gilletts Lake and Goose Lake to smaller features like O'Leary Pond and Malay Lake. The Grand Trunk Western railroad cuts across the northern terrain, serving historic points such as Henrietta Station.

Local development is evident along Michigan Avenue and Seymour Avenue, where residential clusters sit near schools like the East Jackson Memorial Sch and leisure sites including a Drive-in Theater and Golf Course. To the east, the Waterloo State Recreation Area provides a contrast of preserved land near Welch Lake. Genealogists may find value in the various family-named sites, such as Coon Hill Cem and Harrington Cem.
