2023 Map of Onondaga

About this map

The Grand River snakes through this rural landscape where the boundaries of Ingham, Eaton, and Jackson counties converge. The settlement of Onondaga serves as a central point, situated just south of the older community of Kinneville. The area's agricultural and social history is etched into the terrain through a high concentration of small burial grounds, including Lane Cem, Onondaga Cem, and the Pope Cem further south. Modern recreational use of the waterway is noted by the Upper Grand River Water Trl, which follows the river's winding course. This recent survey reflects the persistent rural character of the region, where legacy farm roads like Old Plank Rd and Baseline Rd still define the township divisions. The presence of numerous small water bodies such as Lanes Lake and Fuller Lake punctuates the low-lying areas near the river's edge, highlighting the drainage patterns of the Sandstone Creek and Otter Creek systems.
