About this map

Central Michigan University stands at the center of this Isabella County landscape, anchoring the southern reach of Mount Pleasant near the winding course of the Chippewa River. The map documents a blend of academic infrastructure, residential expansion, and rural continuity. To the north, Mission Creek flows toward the Riverside Cemetery, while the western terrain is marked by smaller water bodies like McLaughan Lake and Peas Lake.

Genealogists and local researchers will find significant value in the distribution of burial sites across the township, from Calvary Cemetery in the northeast to the more isolated Green Cemetery and Lincoln Cemetery further south. The transition from the urban grid of the city to the agricultural outskirts is evident near Crawford, where the landscape opens into a network of drainage features such as Figg Drain and Salt Creek. The presence of the Mount Pleasant Post Office and Kewadin Village highlights established community hubs within this central Michigan region.
