2019 Map of North Branch

About this map

North Branch serves as the primary hub in this portion of Lapeer County, where the N Br Flint River and Elm Cr shape the local drainage. The area's settlement history is preserved through a high density of rural cemeteries, such as Maple Grove Cem and Westlawn Cem, which are often located near long-established section lines and roads like N Branch Rd. To the south, the landscape transitions toward a series of water bodies including Five Lakes, Bear Lake, and Duperow Lake. This region shows a complex network of agricultural drainage, evidenced by named features like Almas Drain and Rockwell Drain, which have facilitated farming across the townships of North Branch and Mayfield for generations. Small community centers such as Kings Mill and Five Lakes remain identifiable landmarks within this interconnected web of county roads and glacial lake beds.
