2019 Map of Pompeii

About this map

North Star and Pompeii anchor this rural Gratiot County landscape, where a dense network of agricultural drains and creeks defines the local topography. The Maple River flows across the southern portion of the sheet near Bridgeville, while the Bad River and Bear Cr drain the northern sections. This area is characterized by a high concentration of established family and community burial grounds, providing a significant resource for genealogical research. Documented cemeteries include North Star Cem, Barnes Cem, Hufford Cem, Collier Cem, Collister Cem, and Fritz Cem, many of which are situated along the section lines and early township roads. The mapping of artificial waterways like the Cook and Duncan Drain and Nile Drain among the natural flow of Ferdon Cr and Collier Cr illustrates the long-term management of this fertile wetland-adjacent terrain.
