About this map

Leslie and North Leslie anchor this central Michigan landscape where the headwaters of several drainages diverge. The town of Leslie is centered along Hunton Creek, with the prominent Teaspoon Hill rising to the north. Further south, the meandering Grand River carves through the terrain near the small settlement of Berryville and the crossing at Berry Bridge. This 2011 survey reveals a transition from the structured street grid of the towns to a rural network defined by longstanding agricultural boundaries and family plots.

Genealogists will find a wealth of local data in the various burial grounds scattered across the quadrangle, including Woodlawn Cemetery near the heart of town and more remote sites like Walker Cemetery, East Rives Cemetery, and the Rives Junction Memorial Cemetery. The southern edge of the sheet is marked by the rail and road intersection at Rives Junction, where Albrow Creek and the Grand River converge, reflecting the historical importance of water and rail transport to the Ingham County economy.
