About this map

Olivet College serves as a focal point for this landscape, which straddles the boundary between Eaton Co and Calhoun Co. The city of Olivet is positioned near the center of the sheet, surrounded by several family-named highways and local burial grounds like Olivet City Cem and Bosworth Cem. The terrain is defined by a dense network of wetlands and small lakes, including Ackley Lake, Pine Lake, and the expansive Big Marsh Lake to the southwest.

Water management and drainage are prominent features of the area, as evidenced by the Dillon Reid Drain and the State and Indian Creek Drain. To the southeast, the small settlement of Lee Center stands near Lee Center Cem, representing the rural character of the region. The path of Battle Creek meanders across the northern half of the map, illustrating the natural drainage patterns that have influenced local land use for generations.
