About this map

Morenci serves as the primary hub along the border of Lenawee County and Fulton County, where Michigan meets Ohio. This landscape is defined by the winding course of Bean Cr, which flows through the northwestern corner before entering Ohio, where it is supplemented by tributaries like Silver Cr and Old Bean Cr. The map illustrates a strictly surveyed grid of rural roads, including State Line Rd, which physically separates the two states.

Genealogists will find several burial sites preserved in this agricultural region, such as Oak Grove Cem just north of Morenci and Butler Cem further south. Small crossroads settlements like Denson, Oakshade, and Thelma provide insight into the historical distribution of rural communities. The map also records several local drainage features, including Carter Drain and Bad Cr, reflecting the hydrological management necessary for this borderland's development.
