2023 Map of Linden

About this map

The Shiawassee River winds through the village of Linden and the settlement of Argentine, connecting a complex system of glacial kettle lakes and wetlands in southern Michigan. The landscape is defined by its abundance of water, including the expansive Lobdell Lake, Byram Lake, and Murray Lake, which are separated by low-lying peninsulas like Blue Gill Island. This contemporary topography reflects a deeply established community, evidenced by several local burial grounds such as Fairview Cem and the Argentine Cem. Education and regional aviation are anchored by the Linden Middle School and Prices Airport, while the grid of roads like Silver Lake Rd and Lahring Rd provides a look at the modern suburban and rural residential patterns that have emerged around the historical lakefronts. The map also records the boundary line between Genesee and Livingston counties, marking a transition between the northern and southern reaches of the local townships.
