About this map

The Floyd River and its West Branch dominate the northwestern corner of this Plymouth County landscape, where the settlement of Merrill sits at the junction of Highway 75 and several rural routes. The map documents a highly structured agricultural grid, defined by a dense network of numbered section lines and roads such as Co Rd C44 and Keystone Ave.

Genealogists will find significant value in the preservation of small, rural burial sites that dot the countryside, including Stanton Cem, Mathwig Cem, and Trinity Lutheran Cem. These sites, along with the location of Neptune, provide specific points of reference for tracing family history in the townships. The drainage patterns are intricate, with named waterways like Minnie Brook, Big Whisky Cr, and Plymouth Cr carving through the terrain, reflecting the natural topography that underlies the region's productive farmland.
