2014 Map of Macon

About this map

The agrarian landscape of Macon and Cone dominates this 2014 survey, where the borders of Washtenaw, Lenawee, and Monroe counties converge. This region of southeast Michigan is defined by its meticulous road grid and the winding paths of Macon Cr and the Saline River. Genealogists will find a high density of rural burial grounds, including Benton Cem, Oakhill Cem, and Lake Ridge Cem, which serve as landmarks among the vast farm plots. The drainage of the land is carefully mapped through features like Schreeder Brook, Bear Swamp Cr, and the Richardson Drain, illustrating the hydrological management necessary for this productive agricultural belt. From the northern reaches near W Michigan Ave to the southern edge by Ridgeway Cem, the map documents a stable rural community characterized by long-standing township boundaries and a network of arterial highways such as Britton Hwy and Ridge Hwy.
