2017 Map of Pleasant Lake

About this map

Bunker Hill sits at a topographic high point in this rural landscape, marking a central node in a network of historic burial grounds and local drainages. The area is defined by a series of significant cemeteries, including Saint Cornelius and Cyprian's Catholic Cem and Bunker Hill Center Cem, which serve as vital markers for genealogical research in this part of Michigan. The terrain is characterized by a complex hydrology where Batteese Cr and Cahogan Cr weave through wetlands toward larger bodies of water like Batteese Lake and the eponymous Pleasant Lake. To the south, the Lakelands Trail State Park follows an established corridor near the Jackson County line, while the crossroads of Fitchburg remains a distinct settlement point. This survey documents the intersection of long-standing family farm roads like Haynes Rd and Freiermuth Rd with the enduring township boundaries.
