About this map

Saunemin serves as the primary hub in this Livingston County landscape, situated at the intersection of Main St and Lafayette St. The map illustrates a classic Midwestern agricultural grid, punctuated by small settlements and rural crossroads that once anchored the local community. To the north, Loretto is marked by the Saint Mary's Catholic Cem, while other localized points like Rugby, Eylar, and Scovel appear along the extensive network of township roads.

Water management is a defining characteristic of the terrain, with Felky Slough and Gooseberry Cr winding through the parcels. These drainage patterns, alongside Fivemile Creek in the south, indicate the region's reliance on precise irrigation and water control for its farming economy. For genealogists, the placement of Sunny Slope Cem and Union Cem provide specific geographic anchors for tracing local family histories within the townships of T29N and T28N.
