About this map

The South Branch Kalamazoo River and Wilder Cr wind through this Calhoun County landscape, anchoring a rural region punctuated by small agricultural settlements and historic burial grounds. The city of Albion occupies the northeastern corner, where the Riverside Cem and Albion Memory Gardens sit near the river's path. Moving southwest, the village of Homer is situated along the shores of Homer Lake, serving as a local hub near the confluence of the S Br Kalamazoo River and several drainage systems like Lampson Run Drain and Benham Drain.

Genealogists will find a high density of local cemeteries, including the remote Cooks Prairie Cem, East Eckford Cem, and Fairview Cem. The landscape is defined by a rigid grid of section roads, such as 28 Mile Rd and Division Dr, which connect smaller locales like Eckford, Condit, and Babcock. The southern edge of the survey captures the headwaters of the Saint Joseph River as it begins its flow near Clarendon.
