About this map

Parkers Corners serves as the focal point for this agrarian landscape in Livingston County, where the hydrology is defined by the branching network of the Red Cedar River. The West Branch Red Cedar River and Middle Branch Red Cedar River meander through the terrain, punctuated by small bodies of water like Lamoreaux Lake. This 2011 survey reveals a settlement pattern heavily reliant on a grid of rural roads, such as Gregory Rd and Coon Lake Rd, which connect scattered homesteads and small family-named landmarks.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of several historic burial grounds, including Paige Cemetery, Loree Cemetery, and Harford Cemetery. The presence of the L D Ranch Airport provides an interesting look at private aviation infrastructure tucked into the countryside. The map documents a quiet, residential and agricultural area where local history is preserved in the names of its intersections and small cemeteries.
