About this map

The Grand River flows through the northeastern corner of this area near Eaton Rapids, anchoring a landscape defined by an intricate network of agricultural drainage and glacial kettle lakes. The southern settlement of Springport serves as a local hub, while the smaller community of Charlesworth sits along the Bellevue Hwy. This survey illustrates the tri-county intersection where Eaton, Calhoun, and Jackson counties meet, a region characterized by prominent topographic features like the Holibaugh Hills and Jerusalem Hills.

Genealogists and local historians can locate established burial grounds such as Oakwood Cem and Pierson Cem amidst the patchwork of section lines. The map documents numerous water bodies including Steel Lake, Loomis Lake, and Gurley Lake, many of which are connected by engineered channels like the Stilwell and Mills Drain and Peacock Drain, reflecting a long history of water management to support the surrounding farmland.
