2019 Map of Hubbardston

About this map

Hubbardston and Matherton sit at the intersection of local history and rural geography along the banks of Fish Creek and the Maple River. This landscape is defined by its agricultural character and an intricate network of drainage systems, including the Bower Drain and Nichols Drain, which reflect generations of land management. Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of several local burial grounds, such as Saint Johns Cem, Hubbardston East Cem, and Most Holy Trinity Cem. The southern edge of the map features the Pewamo and Fowler vicinities, connected by the Fred Meijer Clinton-Ionia-Shiawassee (CIS) State Trail, which repurposed a historic rail corridor through the region. The map also highlights the distinct landform known as The Island, situated where multiple drainages converge near the Maple River.
