About this map

St. Johns anchors the southern edge of this Clinton County landscape, where the northern residential outskirts of the city meet a dense network of family farms and agricultural drainages. The map reveals a high concentration of burial grounds distributed across the townships, including Danley Cem, Union Home Cem, and the Prairie Cem, providing essential markers for genealogical research in this part of Michigan. The settlement of Eureka sits at the eastern boundary, serving as a secondary local hub near Eureka Cem.

Water management is a defining characteristic of the terrain, visible through a sophisticated system of engineered waterways such as Silvernail Drain, Upton Drain, and Shulters and Stubbs Drain. These features, alongside Ferdon Cr and Hayworth Cr, illustrate the historical effort to reclaim and utilize the tillable land. Transportation is facilitated by a strict grid of section-line roads and the presence of small local aviation fields like Glowacki Airport and Randolph's Landing Area Airport.
