2011 Map of Howell

About this map

Howell serves as a central hub for Livingston County, characterized by a dense grid of residential streets and a concentration of civic landmarks. The town is flanked by significant water bodies, including Thompson Lake to the north and Earl Lake to the east, while the South Branch Shiawassee River and Red Cedar River drain the surrounding countryside. This landscape is notably dense with commemorative sites, ranging from the central Mount Olivet Cemetery and Lakeview Cemetery to more remote family and institutional burial grounds like the Livingston County Poor Farm Cemetery and Drew Cemetery. These sites provide a direct link to the region's 19th and 20th-century social history. Higher education and local services are represented by Cleary University and the Howell Post Office, reflecting the town's role as a regional anchor. The southern portion of the area transitions into a more hydrologically complex terrain, featuring numerous smaller lakes such as Coon Lake, Pardee Lake, and Cranberry Lake.
