2011 Map of Jasper

About this map

The agricultural landscape of southern Lenawee County is defined by its extensive network of drainage infrastructure, including the South Branch River Raisin and numerous man-made channels like the Baker and May Drain and Mitchell Drain. This survey documents a cluster of traditional crossroads settlements such as Sand Creek, Fairfield, Jasper, and Weston, each retaining its central post office and nearby burial grounds. For family historians, the map provides precise locations for nearly a dozen distinct cemeteries, ranging from the County Poor House Cemetery in the north to the Ridgeville Cemetery at the southern edge. The northern portion of the sheet shows a more modernized landscape near the Lenawee County Airport, while the southern reaches near the border are characterized by the winding path of Black Creek and established farmsteads along the Sand Creek Hwy.
