2015 Map of Utica East

About this map

Blue Mound rises as a prominent landmark in this section of Livingston County, overlooking a landscape defined by the meandering Grand River and its complex network of tributaries. The terrain transitions from the river bottomlands near Shoal Creek and Wolf Creek to the undulating uplands where numerous family and community landmarks are found. For genealogists, the placement of the Christian Cemetery, Welsh Cemetery, Blue Mound Cemetery, and Mayberry Cemetery provides essential context for 21st-century family history research. Small settlements such as Utica and Cleary anchor the rural infrastructure, connected by a grid of county roads and state routes like Mo-C. The presence of several small water bodies, including Roach Lake, Englert Lake, and Melvin Watkins Lake, suggests a landscape shaped by both natural drainage and local land management.
