2017 Map of Imlay City

About this map

Imlay City and the village of Attica anchor this 2017 survey of eastern Lapeer County, Michigan. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of agricultural and natural waterways, including the Belle River and its branches, alongside numerous engineered channels like the Wilkie Drain and Hunt Drain. This drainage system illustrates the area's conversion from glacial wetlands into productive farmland. For those tracing family histories, the map identifies several local burial grounds, such as Imlay Cem, Mount Calvary Cem, and the Goodland Township Cem. The Polly Ann State Trail cuts diagonally across the township, following a historic railway corridor that once linked these rural communities. Northwest of the main settlements, Bass Lake and Pickerel Lake provide a glimpse into the original lake-dotted topography of the region before the extensive development of the surrounding drain network.
