About this map

Albion and Homer anchor this 2014 survey of south-central Michigan, where the headwaters of two major river systems nearly meet. The South Branch Kalamazoo River meanders northward toward the city of Albion, while the Saint Joseph River flows across the southwestern corner near Clarendon. This rural landscape is defined by a dense grid of range roads and numerous small water bodies including Homer Lake, Spectacle Lake, and Kesler Lake.

Genealogists and local historians will find several well-preserved burial grounds, such as Cooks Prairie Cem and Albion Township Cem. The map traces the N-Country National Scenic Trail as it winds through the countryside, passing the small settlements of Babcock, Condit, and Eckford. Transport infrastructure is well-represented, from the Albion Station rail connection to the Midway Airport landing strip.
