2019 Map of Pittsford

About this map

Pittsford serves as the primary hub in this rural landscape, characterized by its historic street grid and proximity to the Pittsford Millpond. The surrounding countryside in Hillsdale County is defined by a dense network of water features, including the winding E Br Saint Joseph River and numerous numbered lakes such as Lake Number Five and Lake Number Eight. Small settlements like Lickly Corners and Prattville anchor the southern portion of the area, while the N Country National Scenic Trail cuts through the central terrain, offering a modern perspective on a landscape long shaped by agriculture and water management. Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of several local burial sites, notably the Leonardson Cem, Prattville Cem, and the unique Bacon Farm Grave. The map also captures several distinct drainage systems, such as the Anderson Drain and Dillon Drain, which illustrate the complex hydrology necessary for maintaining the region's farmland.
