2017 Map of Southeast Albion

About this map

Concord and the southeastern outskirts of Albion anchor this landscape along the border of Calhoun and Jackson counties. The terrain is defined by the complex hydrology of the Kalamazoo River watershed, where the North Branch and South Branch carve through glacial topography. This area is characterized by numerous small basins and wetlands, including Swains Lake, Brail Lake, and Bartell Lake. Local history is well-preserved through a network of rural burial grounds such as Bayn Cemetery and South Albion Cemetery. In the village of Concord, the Mill Pond reflects the early industrial reliance on water power, while the surrounding grid of section-line roads like 30 Mile Road and Allman Road illustrates the persistent agrarian structure of south-central Michigan.
