About this map

Looking Glass River winds across the central landscape of this Clinton and Eaton County border region, anchoring the historic settlement of Wacousta. This interior portion of Michigan shows a transition from the suburban edge of Waverly and the northern outskirts of Grand Ledge to the structured agricultural lands of the north. The map documents numerous community landmarks, including the Great Lakes Christian Coll and a series of rural burying grounds such as S Riley Cem, Niles Cem, and Wacousta Cem.

The hydrography is notably dense, with an intricate network of agricultural drains like Kelley Drain and Boughton Drain feeding into the larger river systems. In the south, the Grand River passes through the edge of Grand Ledge, while specialized infrastructure like Hoerners Corners Airport and Abrams Municipal Airport serve the local area. The parceling of the land into the Public Land Survey System is evident through the rectilinear road network, defining the township boundaries of T5N and T6N.
