About this map

Tipton and Reynolds Corners sit at the center of this 2023 survey of the boundary between Washtenaw and Lenawee counties. The landscape is defined by its glacial hydrology, featuring a dense network of water bodies including Iron Mill Pond, Hudson Lake, and the western reaches of Evans Lake. These waters feed into systems like Iron Creek and Evans Creek, which flow through a countryside still organized by the original Public Land Survey System grid, as evidenced by township markers for t4s r3e, t4s r4e, t5s r3e, and t5s r4e.

For genealogists and local historians, several small burial grounds are documented, including Wisner Cem, Mills Cem, and Franklin Cem, alongside the larger Lenawee Hills Memorial Gardens. The drainage of the land is managed through engineered features like Bruno Drain and Lamkin Drain, illustrating the long-standing agricultural importance of this southern Michigan region. Named roads such as Sharon Hollow Rd and Mull Rd connect the scattered homesteads and small settlements that have populated this area for generations.
