About this map

Perry and Morrice serve as the primary anchors of this Shiawassee County landscape, where the agricultural grid is deeply etched by a complex network of named drainage systems. The Looking Glass River cuts through the northeast and southeast corners, while the interior is defined by various watercourses such as Grub Cr and the Kellogg Drain. This drainage pattern, including the Bennington and Perry Drain, illustrates the intensive land management required to sustain farming across the region's low-lying areas.

Local history is preserved in numerous rural burial grounds like Beard Cem and Roselawn Cem, which are scattered among the section lines. Aviation interest is noted at Dysinger Airport, situated centrally among the fields. To the south, the map extends across county lines into Ingham and Livingston, reaching the small settlement of Nicholson. The presence of features like Hog Island and Buck Br provides further landmarks for researchers tracing family property and local water-rights history.
