2019 Map of Wacousta

About this map

The Looking Glass River meanders through the central portion of this area, anchoring the unincorporated community of Wacousta. This landscape is defined by its complex network of drainage systems, such as the Westphalia and Riley Drain and Boughton Drain, which serve the agricultural lands of Clinton and Eaton Counties. The southern edge of the map features the established city of Grand Ledge, where the Grand River flows past Oakwood Cemetery. The map captures the transition from small rural settlements like South Riley and Delta Mills to modern education and infrastructure, notably the campus of Great Lakes Christian College and aviation sites like Abrams Municipal Airport. Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of family-named burial sites, including Wacousta Cemetery and South Riley Cemetery, which remain key markers of local heritage in this region north of the state capital.
