About this map

Boysville of Michigan sits at the intersection of Clinton Road and Macon Road, serving as a central landmark in this agricultural landscape spanning the borders of Washtenaw, Lenawee, and Monroe Counties. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the Saline River in the northeast and the multiple branches of Macon Creek that drain the central plains. This late 1960s environment shows a well-established rural grid where family history is anchored by numerous local burial grounds, including Benton Cem, Oakhill Cem, and Welch Cem.

Transportation infrastructure reveals the region's connectivity, with the Norfolk and Western and Ann Arbor railroads cutting across the southern and eastern sectors. Notable rural community markers like Emmanuel Ch and the small settlement of Macon provide focal points for local researchers. The map also records early industrial and utility footprints, such as an Oil Well near Smith Road and a long pipeline corridor traversing the fields.
