2019 Map of Metamora

About this map

Metamora serves as the central hub of this Lapeer County landscape, where the grain of the land is defined by a dense network of glacial lakes and wetlands. The village sits at the heart of a region transitioning into the northern reaches of Oakland Co, punctuated by the elevation of Mt Christie to the south. Historically significant hamlets like Farmers Creek and Hunters Creek anchor the surrounding rural sections, each supported by their respective burial grounds including Farmers Creek Cem and Hunters Creek Cem. The water systems here are complex, with the South Branch Flint River and numerous drains like Mirror Lake Drain connecting water bodies such as Lake Metamora, Mirror Lake, and Wolf Lake. This survey illustrates the persistent agricultural and residential patterns of the area, where naming conventions often reflect the local hydrology and the early families who established Schuneman Cem and Harris Cem.
