About this map

Owosso and its southern agricultural fringes are defined by the winding paths of the Shiawassee River and the Maple River, which cut through a landscape of structured grid roads and scattered rural settlements. Small communities like Five Points, Middletown, and Pittsburg dot the countryside, while the southern edge of the city shows significant infrastructure including the Owosso Community Airport and the Corunna Hills Golf Course.

Genealogists will find a high density of burial grounds throughout this portion of Shiawassee County, ranging from large sites like Oak Hill Cemetery and Hillcrest Memorial Gardens to the more uniquely designated Shiawassee County Poor Farm Cemetery. The map also captures the natural drainage of the region through networks like Spring Brook, which feeds into Manitou Lake and the Cummings Lakes, and the southern Looking Glass River, providing a clear view of the water resources that shaped early land use in the township.
