2021 Map of Northwest Pontiac

About this map

Pontiac serves as the focal point of this Livingston County landscape, situated where the Vermilion River bends near Heisner Island. The river and its tributaries, including Wolf Cr, Baker Run, and Rooks Creek, define the agricultural layout of the region. The map reveals a dense network of local cemeteries that offer a direct link to the area's pioneer past, from Bayou Cem and Zooks Cem in the west to Camp Cem and Rowe Cem further east. The small settlements of Cornell and Rowe are captured alongside significant transport markers, including a stretch of Old US Hwy 66 and the modern presence of the Pontiac Municipal Airport. This record of the township provides genealogists and local historians a clear view of the rural sections and established street grids of the county seat, where the Livingston County Law and Justice Center stands in the downtown core.
