2023 Map of Laingsburg

About this map

The Looking Glass River and Maple River systems define this central Michigan corridor along the border of Clinton and Shiawassee Counties. The city of Laingsburg anchors the southern portion of the map, serving as a focal point for local history with its concentration of burial sites, including Laingsburg Cem and Mount Olivet Catholic Cem. To the north, the village of Ovid marks the edge of a landscape characterized by agricultural tracts and managed lands, such as the Farm Service Agency Interest of Michigan. Small tributaries and drainage networks like Putnam Drain and Alder Creek Drain weave through the township sections, illustrating the complex hydrology necessary for the region's farming economy. For genealogists, the distribution of rural cemeteries such as Putnam Cem and Middlebury Cem provides essential markers of early settlement patterns across the townships of Middlebury and Sciota.
