2024 Map of Northeast Pontiac

About this map

Pontiac and its surrounding northern agricultural lands are documented here, anchored by the transportation corridor that includes Interstate 55 and the historic path of Old Route 66. The landscape is defined by the grid-like township and range roads that crisscross the prairie, interspersed with small settlements like Cayuga, Odell, and Swygert. Water features such as Wolf Creek, Smith Branch, and North Creek weave through the fields, providing a natural contrast to the industrial and municipal growth near the Pontiac Municipal Airport. Genealogists will find interest in the documented locations of local burial grounds, including Saint Marys Cem, Memorial Park Cem, and Swygert Cem. This survey illustrates the modern evolution of the Livingston County countryside, where high-speed transit routes now parallel the legendary Mother Road and historical village sites.
