About this map

Hubbardston anchors the northern portion of this map, situated where Fish Creek winds through the borderlands of Ionia and Clinton Counties. The local landscape is defined by the broad path of the Maple River, which passes through Matherton and creates a unique landform known as The Island. This modern survey reveals a dense network of water management features, including the Reynolds and Sessions Drain and Bower Drain, supporting the agricultural heritage of the region.

Genealogists can find several historic burial grounds such as Saint Johns Cem, East Side Cem, and the Most Holy Trinity Cem located further south near the community of Pewamo. The southern boundary is marked by the Fred Meijer Clinton-Ionia-Shiawassee (cis) State Trl, which follows the route of a former rail corridor, connecting rural settlements like Fowler to the larger surrounding network. The map illustrates how original homesteads and rural roads like McKenna Rd and W Colony Rd continue to shape this central Michigan terrain.
