2019 Map of Richmond

About this map

The town of Richmond anchors the eastern edge of this Macomb County landscape, where the Macomb Orchard Rail Trail follows a historic corridor northwest toward Armada. This survey documents a transition from established town centers to a patchwork of agricultural lands defined by an extensive network of drainage systems, including Ryall Drain, Logg Drain, and Dixon Drain. For genealogists, the map is particularly detailed, identifying several rural burial sites such as Saint Joseph's Seminary Cem, the Lenox Centre Burial Grounds, and the Willow Grove Cem. The southern reach of the quadrangle is defined by the headwaters of the Salt River and its various tributaries like Shook Drain and Fistler Drain, alongside the small impoundment at Lake Chalet. The grid of section roads, from 34 Mile Rd down to 29 Mile Rd, reveals the enduring structure of the local land division.
