2019 Map of Leaton

About this map

The Nottawa Indian Cem stands as a significant cultural landmark in the center of this Isabella County landscape, situated near the headwaters of the N Br Salt River. The region is defined by a dense network of agricultural and natural waterways, including McDonald Drain and Sharps Drain, which reflect a long-standing history of land management and drainage in central Michigan. Small rural settlements like Wise, Delwin, and Leaton are distributed along a grid of section roads such as E Rosebush Rd and E Beal City Rd. Further south, the terrain transitions toward the Chippewa River corridor near Jordan. This late-2010s survey captures the enduring rural character of the township, where isolated cemeteries like Bissing Cem and various small drains like Lowe Drain provide specific points of interest for local historians and genealogists studying the area's development.
