About this map

The village of Parma anchors the southern portion of this Jackson County survey, situated along the historic corridor of West Michigan Avenue and the railroad. As a transit point, the area is marked by Parma Station and the neighboring community of Sandstone, reflecting the region's long-standing connection to rail and road transport. The landscape is primarily defined by the winding course of Sandstone Creek and its various tributaries like Mackey Brook, which historically supported local industry such as Minards Mill.

Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites scattered across the rural township, including Parma Cemetery, Upton Cemetery, and Pherdun Cemetery. The northern reaches transition into the settlement of Tompkins, where the road network follows established township lines. From the waters of Lords Lake to the small family-named landmarks like Lincoln Cemetery, the map provides a clear view of the area's agricultural and civic development in the early 21st century.
