About this map

The New York Central railroad corridor serves as the industrial spine of this Hillsdale County landscape, connecting the village of North Adams to the regional hub of Hillsdale. The city of Hillsdale is shown in detail, anchored by Mill Pond and the Lake View Cem, while the southern residential and recreation areas extend toward Baw Beese Lake and the Hillsdale Country Club.

Glacial topography defines the rural sections, where a chain of interconnected water bodies including First Lake, Second Lake, Third Lake, and Fourth Lake transition into the marshy reaches of Pleasant Lake. The map reveals a settled agricultural community punctuated by country schools like the Stone Sch and several pioneer burying grounds, including North Lawn Cem and Mt Pleasant Cem, which provide essential points of reference for genealogists studying the families of Adams and Jefferson townships.
