2019 Map of Jackson North

About this map

The Grand River and Portage River converge in this northern part of the city, where mid-century urban expansion meets the agricultural landscape of Jackson County. The 2019 survey documents a dense cluster of local history sites, including the Jackson County Cemetery and Temple Beth Israel Cemetery, alongside critical infrastructure like the Jackson County Airport-Reynolds Field. The map illustrates how modern transportation corridors and institutional developments, such as the Baker College of Jackson, have integrated with older rural landmarks like Woodville and several family-named burial grounds including Jones Cemetery and Draper Cemetery. This recent record provides a precise look at the drainage patterns of the Hurd Marvin Drain and Twin Lakes Drain, showing the complex hydrology of the area's lakes and wetlands before they meet the larger river systems.
