About this map

Vermontville anchors the southeastern corner of this rural landscape, situated along the Penn Central rail line and Vermontville Highway. The surrounding countryside is defined by a dense network of country roads like Saginaw Highway and St Joe Highway, which connect numerous family-named cemeteries and small churches including Zion Ch and Woodlawn Cemetery.

Glacial activity left a distinctive mark here, resulting in a scattered chain of water bodies such as Saubee Lake, Saddlebag Lake, and Kilpatrick Lake. This 1981 survey shows the area at a transition point, where traditional agriculture and natural wetlands like Mud Lake and Lovell Pond sit alongside evidence of modern utility, such as a Sewage Disposal Pond and various Gravel Pits. Local history is preserved through labels for the Hagar Cem, Patterson Cem, and the small Roadside Park near Mud Creek.
