About this map

The city of Jackson serves as a major hub in this 2017 survey, where dense residential street grids transition into the industrial and transportation infrastructure of Jackson County Airport-Reynolds Field. The landscape is defined by the convergence of the Grand River and the Portage River, along with a complex network of managed waterways like the Hurd Marvin Drain and Twin Lakes Drain. These features highlight the region's historic efforts to reclaim and manage the low-lying terrain for both urban expansion and agricultural use.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the numerous burial grounds recorded across the township, including the Blackman Cem, Hillcrest Memorial Park Cem, and the Temple Beth Israel Cem. Cultural and educational landmarks are also prominent, from the Baker College of Jackson campus to the crossing at Puddleford Bridge, reflecting the modern development of northern Jackson County alongside established communities like Woodville.
