2014 Map of Jackson North

About this map

The Grand River winds through this landscape north of Jackson, charting the industrial and municipal growth of central Michigan in the early 21st century. The map reveals a dense network of local cemeteries, including Hillcrest Memorial Park Cem, Jackson County Cem, and Temple Beth Israel Cem, providing a significant record for genealogical research. The northern suburbs are characterized by a transition from the urban center to more open terrain near Woodville, where large-scale infrastructure like Jackson County Airport-Reynolds Field and the Baker College of Jackson campus have shaped the local footprint. Water management is a primary feature of the area, visible through the complex drainage systems of Twin Lakes Drain, Hurd Marvin Drain, and the Sandstone Blackman Drain, which support the agriculture and development surrounding the river's path.
