2011 Map of Imlay City

About this map

Imlay City serves as the focal point of this Lapeer County landscape, situated at the crossroads of regional transit and local agriculture. The town's grid expands southward toward the Eastern Michigan Fairgrounds and the North Branch Belle River, while the northern portion of the quadrangle is dominated by the rural settlement of Goodland. This area is particularly rich for genealogical research, documenting several distinct burial grounds including Mount Calvary Cemetery, Imlay Cemetery, and the Indian Cemetery located near Kohler RD. The drainage patterns of the thumb region are well-defined here, showing the headwaters and tributaries of Stony Creek and the North Branch Mill Creek as they weave through a patchwork of family-named roads and section lines. Small glacial features like Pickerel Lake and Bass Lake remain preserved in the western reaches, contrasting with the engineered drainage of the Brinker Drain to the south.
