2014 Map of Wheatland

About this map

Wheatland and the surrounding township terrain in Hillsdale County reveal a landscape defined by agricultural plots and an extensive network of named drainage systems. This 2014 survey documents the hydrography of the region, including Williams Drain, Hoxie Drain, and Church Drain, which manage water across the rolling countryside. Small glacial lakes like Bloomer Lake and Ames Lake break the grid of section lines, while the headwaters of Saint Joseph Cr wind through the southern portion of the quadrangle. For those researching local history, the map provides precise locations for several small community burial grounds, such as Church's Corners Cem and Peace Cem, often situated at rural crossroads or adjacent to family farmsteads. The settlement at Locust Corners serves as a localized hub in the southern township, anchoring a network of roads like E Bacon Rd and S Waldron Rd that have served this farming community for generations.
