About this map

The Maple River flows through the northern reaches of this Clinton County landscape, defining the northern border of the village of Maple Rapids. This settlement serves as a local hub near the Gratiot County line, characterized by a concentration of local landmarks including the Maple Rapids Village Cem and the Po. The surrounding area is defined by an intricate network of agricultural drainage systems, such as the Reynolds and Sessions Drain and Anspoker Drain, which manage the low-lying terrain near The Island.

Further south, the village of Fowler anchors the map near the southern boundary, where the Fred Meijer Clinton-Ionia-Shiawassee (cis) State Trl follows an old rail corridor. Rural history is preserved in numerous family and community burial grounds scattered across the townships, from the Payne Cem in the north to the Frink Cem in the southeast, providing a clear record of early landownership and local genealogy.
