2023 Map of Southeast Albion

About this map

Albion and Concord anchor this survey of the river valleys in south-central Michigan. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the North Branch Kalamazoo River, which flows through the northern reaches near Albion College, and the South Branch Kalamazoo River at the southern edge. The area is marked by a dense network of country roads, including Bath Mills Rd and N Concord Rd, which connect several small lakes such as Gregory Lake and Brail Lake. For genealogists and local historians, the sheet is particularly valuable for its record of family-named landmarks and rural burial grounds, including the Bath Mills Cem, Woodliff Cem, and South Albion Cem. The inclusion of the Spring Arbor and Concord Drain and Swains Lake Drain reflects the critical role of water management in this agricultural and residential corridor.
