2017 Map of Hanover

About this map

The S Br Kalamazoo River flows through this corner of Southern Michigan, defining a landscape of glacial lakes and small agricultural settlements at the intersection of Jackson and Hillsdale counties. This 2017 study illustrates the village of Hanover and the community of Moscow, showing a layout shaped by early township boundaries and water sources like Bibbons Lake and Horseshoe Lake. Genealogists will find a high concentration of burial grounds throughout the countryside, including McNair Cem, Hanover Cem, and the Moscow Plains Cem. The terrain is further marked by legacy drainage systems such as the Mitchell Drain and Bansill Drain, which support the surrounding farmland. From the cluster of homes at Stoney Point to the Mill Pond near Moscow, the map documents the persistent rural character and local landmarks that have anchored these townships for generations.
