2014 Map of Onsted

About this map

Irish Hills rise above a landscape defined by an intricate network of glacial lakes and wetlands at the intersection of Jackson, Lenawee, and Washtenaw counties. The settlement of Onsted anchors the southern portion of the map, while the northern reaches are dominated by recreation and residential clusters around Vineyard Lake, Sunset Beach, and The Heights. The historic corridor of the Monroe Pike and Us-12 passes through Cambridge Junction, a site marked by the Cambridge Junction Cem. Water is the primary geographic feature, from the headwaters of the River Raisin to large basins like Wamplers Lake and Sand Lake. This era shows a well-established network of rural roads and cemeteries, including Maple Shade Cem and Springville Cem, which provide essential touchstones for researchers tracking early families in the vicinity of Springville and the surrounding township.
