About this map

Detroit Cem serves as a primary historical landmark in this corner of Brown County, situated amidst a landscape heavily modified for agricultural water management. The terrain is defined by an extensive network of drainage systems, most notably the Crow Cr Drainage Ditch and the Portage Detroit Ditch, which cut through the sectional grid to manage the low-lying prairie lands. These engineering features illustrate the late 20th and early 21st-century efforts to stabilize the water table for farming. The map is framed by a rigid section-line road network, including thoroughfares such as 105th St and 112th St, which partition the township into the precise geometric patterns typical of the James River Valley region.
