About this map

The Grand River and Red Cedar River converge in this urban and suburban landscape, anchoring the southern districts of Lansing and East Lansing. The area is defined by a dense network of transit corridors, including W Michigan Ave and E Main St, alongside significant civic and educational landmarks such as the Thomas M Cooley Law Sch. This survey documents a developed region where residential growth in Waverly and Holt meets established industrial and institutional zones.

Water management is prominent throughout the terrain, reflected in the intricate system of drains like the Gilbert Drain and Hilliard Drain that feed into Sycamore Creek. These features, along with numerous burial grounds such as Deepdale Memorial Park and Mount Hope Cem, offer specific points of interest for local historians and genealogists tracing the expansion of Ingham County's seat. The map also captures the distinct community of Millett and the quiet waters of Mud Lake to the south.
