About this map

The Little Maple River meanders southward through this landscape, feeding into the expansive Lake Ovid which serves as a central geographic anchor for the region. To the west, the crossroads settlement of Price marks a quiet junction of rural roads, while the more developed residential patterns of Westchester Heights appear near the eastern shoreline of Lake Victoria. This area of Michigan is characterized by its organized grid of agricultural roads, such as S Chandler Rd and S Saint Clair Rd, which segment the terrain into large parcels of farmland and woods.

Local history is preserved in several family-named landmarks and burial grounds scattered across the township, including Stilson Cemetery, Reed Cemetery, and the South Ovid Cemetery. The map also details specialized land use, from the small Archer Field to the private Dennis Farms Airport, illustrating a rural economy that balances traditional farming with small-scale aviation. Water management is evident through a network of engineered waterways like Spaulding Drain and Alder Creek Drain, which steer runoff toward the Looking Glass River along the southern border.
