About this map

Hadley and the surrounding township are defined by a complex mosaic of glacial kettle lakes and moraines, illustrated here as they appeared in 2017. The landscape transition from Goodrich in Genesee County toward the Hadley Hills in Lapeer County reveals a topography dense with water bodies, including Hasler Lake, Hemingway Lake, and the expansive Lake Lapeer. This area is particularly rich in genealogical sites, with several well-documented burial grounds such as Hadley Village Cem, Sanborn Cem, and Green Corners Cem providing a clear spatial record for family historians.

Water management is evident through the network of artificial waterways like the Hammond-and-Misener Drain and Paddison Drain, which support the agricultural and residential areas surrounding Fair Acres. Significant elevations like Pinnacle Point overlook a terrain where small settlements such as Kerr Hill and Sweers once stood as distinct locales, now largely integrated into the rural residential fabric of the thumb region.
