2014 Map of Leslie

About this map

Leslie and the surrounding Ingham and Jackson County landscape are defined by a complex network of drains and creeks that feed the Grand River. In this 2014 survey, the settlement of Leslie remains a central hub, anchored by the Leslie Station and the historic Woodlawn Cem. To the south, Rives Junction serves as a notable rail and road intersection, adjacent to the Rives Junction Memorial Cem. The terrain is punctuated by landmarks such as Teaspoon Hill and the small community of Berryville near the Berry Bridge. This map details the local drainage system, including Hunton Creek, Royston Drain, and Whitney Drain, which illustrates how the land was managed for agriculture and development. Local family history is preserved through numerous named sites like Walker Cem and E Rives Cem, offering a detailed view of the rural township's evolution.
