2014 Map of Ovid East

About this map

Agricultural lands at the convergence of Clinton, Shiawassee, and Gratiot counties define this landscape. The settlement of Ovid occupies the southwestern corner, while smaller rural junctions like Carland, Burton, and Hoovers Corners anchor the surrounding townships. The terrain is defined by a dense network of managed waterways, including Baker Cr, Lamb Cr, and David Drain, reflecting the region's long history of drainage improvements for productive farming. This 2014 survey serves as a modern record of land ownership and cemetery locations, preserving the sites of Old Fairfield Cem, Fairfield Cem, and Maple Grove Cem within the grid of section roads. The map's layout demonstrates the enduring geometry of the Public Land Survey System, with roads like W Juddville Rd and Mason Rd following the township and range lines established during early settlement.
