About this map

The city of South Lyon stands as a central hub on this 2011 survey, showing a landscape defined by an extensive network of glacial lakes and historical burial grounds. The area transitions from the more densely settled grid of the city to the lakeside communities and wetlands of the Huron River valley. This sheet is particularly rich in genealogical landmarks, recording numerous family and local resting places such as the Old Irish Cemetery, Hayes Cemetery, and Green Oak Cemetery.

Water features dominate the western half of the quadrangle, including the sprawling Whitmore Lake and the smaller, interconnected basins of Green Oak Lake, Inchwagh Lake, and Sandy Bottom Lake. These water bodies are fed by systems like Spring Mill Creek and Davis Creek, which weave through the terrain alongside newer developments like the Moose Ridge Golf Course. The map captures the suburban growth patterns of the early 21st century as they interface with these established natural features and older settlements like Rushton and Worden.
