2023 Map of Owosso North

About this map

The Shiawassee River defines the central geography of this section of Shiawassee County, winding northward through the settlements of Five Points North and Henderson. For family historians, the map is remarkably dense with burial sites, showing five distinct locations including Mount Hope Cem, West Haven Cem, and the Old West Haven Cem situated near the banks of Sixmile Creek. The upper reaches of the river are fed by an intricate network of local drainage systems such as the North State Drain and West Branch Sawyer Drain. In the northern section, the Wightman Airport sits near the crossing of E Henderson Rd, while the southern edge transition into the residential outskirts of Owosso. The agricultural grid is punctuated by historic clusters like Henderson Cem and Old Henderson Cem, providing clear reference points for tracing mid-Michigan land heritage and rural development.
