2014 Map of Saint Johns South

About this map

St. Johns occupies the northern edge of this landscape, serving as a hub for the surrounding agricultural reaches of Clinton County. The area is defined by an extensive and organized network of drainage systems, such as the Shulters and Stubbs Drain and Bond and Palmer Drain, which facilitate the cultivation of this flat Michigan terrain. These man-made waterways feed into natural features like Stony Creek and the western edge of Muskrat Lake. For genealogists and local historians, several rural burial grounds are preserved across the townships, including S Bingham Cem and Alward Lake Cem near the southern shore of Alward Lake. The map illustrates a transitional period of infrastructure, showing the path of S Old US 27 running parallel to the modern highway corridor, reflecting the evolving transportation patterns of the region.
