2023 Map of Macon

About this map

Macon and the surrounding agricultural lands of Lenawee and Washtenaw Counties are defined by a complex network of waterways and drainage systems that support the region's farming heritage. The landscape is carved by the Saline River, North Branch Macon Creek, and Bear Swamp Creek, while smaller tributaries like Schreeder Brook and Richardson Drain reveal the extensive efforts to manage the low-lying terrain. This drainage network, including the Springbrook Drain, highlights the transition of the marshy wetlands into productive Michigan farmland.
