About this map

Sumner and Elm Hall serve as the primary hubs of this agricultural landscape in central Michigan. The Pine River meanders across the center of the sheet, joined by smaller tributaries like Coles Cr and the uniquely named River Styx. The area is defined by a dense grid of rural roads, such as N Ferris Rd and W Van Buren Rd, which segment the terrain into a patchwork of farms and woodlots.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of local burial grounds, including Elm Hall Cem, Sumner Cem, Klees Cem, and Spencer Cem. The topography is relatively level, marked by small pockets of wetlands and the shores of Duck Lake in the southwest corner. The boundary between Montcalm Co and Gratiot Co bisects the western portion of the map, illustrating how these communities straddle the county line.
