About this map

The settlement of Rome Center sits at the heart of this Lenawee County agricultural landscape, where the local road network is defined by early thoroughfares like Plank Rd and Rome Rd. This 2011 survey reveals a dense pattern of family burial grounds and community landmarks that speak to the area's deep genealogical roots. Numerous sites such as Halstead Farm Cemetery, Bates Farm Cemetery, and the West Rome Cemetery are scattered across the township, often situated near the drainage basins of Wallace Drain and Stoddard Drain.

The southern edge of the map features the village of Cadmus and the headwaters of the South Branch River Raisin. Aviation history is noted by Loars Field Incorporated Airport in the north, while the landscape is naturally partitioned by watercourses like Squaw Creek and Wolf Creek. These creeks, along with named tributaries like Fouty Creek and Hazen Creek, have historically dictated the placement of farms and cemeteries alike.
