About this map

The boundary between Shiawassee County and Genesee County divides this agricultural landscape, where the meandering course of Misteguay Creek serves as a primary drainage feature through Hazelton and Flushing townships. In the northwest, the village of New Lothrop is the most prominent settlement, with local history preserved at Hazelton Cem and nearby Cummings Cem. The map reveals a transition into the more industrial-linked eastern region, marked by the tracks of the Grand Trunk Western railroad running north through Clayton township.

Small-scale aviation is represented by the Slocum Landing Strip, while the rural character of the era is underscored by an extensive network of family-named roads like Puffer Road and Kelland Road. The smaller settlement of Juddville appears in the south-central portion, situated near Onion Creek. This record captures the region just before the expansion of suburban corridors, showing the original farm-to-market road grid and isolated rural churches like those near St Roberts Cem.
