About this map

The city of Lapeer serves as the focal point of this 2014 survey, where the S Br Flint River and Hunters Cr converge within a landscape defined by an extensive network of drainage canals. The presence of the Lapeer State Home and its associated Lapeer State Home Cem provides a significant genealogical reference, marking a major institutional footprint on the western edge of the city.

Glacial lakes like McKeen Lake, Horton Lake, and Nepessing Lake dot the surrounding townships, while smaller bodies of water such as Pass Lake and Whelock Lake are connected by numerous engineered waterways including Cutting Drain and Mayfield and Oregon Drain. This hydrographic pattern reveals how the region's natural wetlands and ponds have been integrated into a managed agricultural and suburban drainage system over the decades.
