About this map

Morrice and Perry serve as the primary population centers in this agricultural and wetland region where Shiawassee, Ingham, and Livingston counties meet. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of drainage systems, including the Kellogg Drain, Perry Number Two Drain, and Bennington and Perry Drain, which channel water toward the Looking Glass River and Wolf Cr. This sophisticated water management system reflects a long history of converting the low-lying glacial terrain into productive farmland, a process further evidenced by numerous named creeks like Grub Cr and Vermilion Cr.

Family history is well-preserved through several local burying grounds, such as Rose Lawn Cem, Howard Cem, and Beard Cem. The map also captures specialized land uses, ranging from the localized industrial activity at McCrea Diggin to the transit-oriented Dysinger Airport. The intersection of modern infrastructure and natural features is visible where major roads cross the northern wetlands, passing near Hog Island and the North Lakes.
