About this map

The confluence of the Looking Glass River and the Grand River defines the town of Portland, which serves as the primary hub in this Michigan landscape. Moving south into Eaton County, the smaller agricultural communities of Sunfield and Mulliken anchor the lower portion of the sheet. The terrain is defined by a dense network of drainage systems, including the Carbaugh Drain and Stiffler Drain, which suggest a long history of water management to support the region's productive farmland.

Genealogists will find several distinct burial grounds scattered across the townships, such as the Portland City Cem, Last Sebewa Cem, and Danby Cem. Local aviation is represented by small facilities like Hiram Cure Airport and Airbatco Field, while the course of the Sebewa Cr meanders through the central sections. This survey provides a clear view of the modern road network, from the residential streets of Portland to the long rural stretches of S Sunfield Hwy and Divine Hwy.
