2019 Map of Ovid East

About this map

Agricultural lands and rural crossroads define this portion of Michigan, where the boundaries of Clinton, Shiawassee, and Gratiot Counties converge. The village of Ovid sits at the southwestern edge, connected to the hamlets of Carland and Burton by a network of sectional roads and the modern Fred Meijer Clinton-Ionia-Shiawassee (CIS) State Trail. This trail follows a historical rail corridor that once served the grain-producing heartland. Small family-linked landmarks like Hoovers Corners and several burial grounds, including Maple Grove Cem and the Old Fairfield Cem, offer points of interest for genealogists tracing local families. The landscape is drained by slow-moving watercourses such as Lamb Cr and Baker Cr, which wind through the township grids and define the low-lying terrain outside the primary settlements.
