About this map

The southern outskirts of St. Johns reveal a landscape defined by an intricate network of agricultural drainage systems and small water bodies. This 2019 survey captures the area as it transitions from the structured street grid of the city, including thoroughfares like Clinton Ave and E Sturgis St, into the open farmland of Clinton County. Significant local history is preserved in the placement of rural burial grounds such as South Bingham Cem, Merithew Cem, and Alward Lake Cem, which sit alongside the managed waterways that crisscross the terrain.

A complex hydraulic system is evident through numerous named channels like the Stony Cr, Hamilton Drain, and Locher Drain, which support the region's productivity. Aviation history is noted at Howard Airfield, while the natural geography is anchored by Alward Lake to the south. This map provides a detailed view of the rural infrastructure and land management patterns essential to mid-Michigan's interior.
