About this map

Spring Arbor University serves as a central anchor in this southern Michigan landscape, situated where Spring Arbor Rd and King Rd converge. The topography is defined by the winding course of the North Branch Kalamazoo River and its various tributaries, including the Bateman Drain and Pretty Br Drain. These water systems connect a series of small basins such as Reynolds Lake and the Spring Arbor Lakes, reflecting the post-glacial drainage patterns typical of the region.

Genealogists and local historians will find several well-distributed burial grounds, from the centrally located Spring Arbor Cem to the outlying Bean Cem and Leidley Cem. In the southeast, the village of Horton is positioned near the Mill Pond, where the Mitchell Drain contributes to the local watershed. This 2019 survey documents the continued intersection of institutional expansion and the enduring agricultural and natural drainage networks of Jackson County.
