About this map

The N-Br Flint River and its complex network of managed drainage ways define this rural Lapeer County landscape. The village of North Branch serves as the central hub, situated near the intersection of several local waterways including Almas Drain and N-Br-Drain. This 2017 survey reveals a region deeply rooted in its local history, evidenced by the high density of community burial grounds such as Westlawn Cem, Saints Peter and Paul Cem, and Greenwood Cem.

Further south, the landscape transitions into the smaller settlements of Kings Mill and Five Lakes, the latter of which is surrounded by several small water bodies including Cedar Lake, Bear Lake, and Duperow Lake. The map details a strictly rectangular grid of country roads, from Kennedy Rd in the north to Elgin Dr in the south, reflecting the area's agricultural organization and historical land partitions.
