About this map

Pinckney and its surrounding glacial lakes define this southern Michigan landscape as it appeared in the early 21st century. The village center is anchored by the Pinckney Post Office and a cluster of local history markers, including Pinckney Cemetery and Saint Marys Cemetery. To the south, the terrain descends toward a complex network of waterways, where the Portage River connects Silver Lake, Little Portage Lake, and the expansive Portage Lake. This region shows a distinct transition from the residential street grids of Pinckney to the more eclectic settlement of Hell near the Hell Creek Ranch Campground.

The southern portion of the map follows the Huron River as it winds past the landmark Peach Mountain and through Hudson Mills. Genealogists will find several burial grounds across the township, such as Sprout Cemetery to the west and Placeway Cemetery to the east. The map detail reflects a lakeside community where recreation and history are intertwined, from the fairways of the Whispering Pines Golf Course to the many named bodies of water like Base Line Lake and Whitewood Lakes.
