About this map

The Grand River flows through the northeastern corner of this region, which marks the complex convergence of Eaton, Calhoun, and Jackson Counties. The settlement of Eaton Rapids sits at the northern edge, while the village of Springport anchors the southern boundary. This landscape is defined by its glacial legacy, characterized by numerous small bodies of water like Gurley Lake and Kettler Lake, and punctuated by the Holibaugh Hills and Jerusalem Hills.

Rural infrastructure is well-defined by the extensive network of drains and ditches, including the Devil Lake Ditch and Peacock Drain, which support the surrounding agricultural lands. Notable local landmarks include the Springport Motor Speedway and the small hamlet of Charlesworth. For genealogists, the map provides precise locations for Oakwood Cem and Pierson Cem, while the intricate grid of family-named roads like Hogsback Rd and Whittum Rd helps trace local landownership and transit patterns.
