2011 Map of Webberville

About this map

Webberville serves as the primary hub in this mid-Michigan landscape, where the Red Cedar River and its various tributaries define the drainage of Handy Township. The map illustrates a developed rural grid where modern transportation corridors intersect with much older local landmarks. Of particular interest to genealogists are the numerous family and community burial sites scattered throughout the township, including the uniquely named In God We Trust Cemetery near Bell Oak and the Alchin Farm Cemetery located south of the main village. The hydrology is complex, with Kalamink Creek, Dietz Creek, and the West Branch Red Cedar River carving through the agricultural sections. These watercourses, alongside small named spans like Squaw Creek and Wolf Creek, have historically dictated the placement of farmsteads and road crossings in this part of Livingston County.
