About this map

Loomis and Herrick sit at the center of this rural landscape, marking a historical corridor defined by the crossing of Isabella and Clare counties. The southern branch of the S Br Tobacco River meanders through the northwest, while the Pere Marquette State Trail traces the path of a significant former railway line, passing through Loomis toward the city of Clare. The area is characterized by an extensive network of managed watercourses such as McDonald Drain and Menery Drain, reflecting a long history of land reclamation and agricultural development.

Genealogists and local historians can locate the Wise Cem near the junction of N Loomis Rd and Washington Rd. The northern portion of the map highlights the settlement of Colonville, while the Clare Municipal Airport stands as a modern landmark on the outskirts of the municipal area. The transition from the S Br Tobacco River watershed to the headwaters of the N Br Salt River in the southeast illustrates the subtle hydrologic divides of this part of the Michigan thumb region.
