About this map

The Grand River snakes through the southern half of this landscape, carving a path through the farmlands between Ingham and Jackson counties. At the heart of the region, Leslie serves as the primary hub, surrounded by a network of rural roads such as Baseline Rd and Kinneville Rd. The topography is marked by distinctive rises like Teaspoon Hill and numerous water bodies, including Hunton Lake and Fox Lake, which drain into the river system through features like the Whitney Drain and Hunton Creek.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant detail in the settlement patterns at Rives Junction and North Leslie. The map preserves the locations of several community burial grounds, including Woodlawn Cem, Walker Cem, and the East Rives Cem. The crossing at Berry Bridge and the small cluster at Berryville reflect the long-standing connection between the local road network and the river's path through the township.
