About this map

The River Raisin meanders through this portion of Lenawee County, serving as a primary geographic anchor for the settlements of Palmyra and Blissfield. This agricultural landscape is defined by an extensive network of drainage systems, including Big Meadow Drain, Colvin Drain, and Pease Drain, which reflect the historical engineering required to manage the low-lying terrain for farming.

Genealogists will find a significant concentration of burial sites across the township, from the Palmyra Village Cem to smaller family and church grounds like Luke Farm Cem and the Zion United Brethren Cem. To the south, the smaller hubs of Ogden and Ogden Center sit amidst a grid of section roads and minor waterways such as Black Creek and Gleason Brook. The map captures the enduring rural character of the region, where legacy farm names like Goff Farm Cem remain etched into the local geography.
