2023 Map of Wheatland

About this map

Agricultural patterns and family-named landmarks define this section of Hillsdale County, where the settlement of Wheatland serves as a central point in a landscape shaped by glacial topography. The area is notable for its dense concentration of rural burial grounds, including Churches Corners Cem, Evergreen-Fowler Cem, and the Hoxie Kendrick Cem, which provide significant points of interest for genealogical research. Water follows a complex network of man-made and natural courses, from the meandering Saint Joseph Creek to various drainage features like Hoxie Drain and Fisk Drain. In the southern portion of the quadrangle, Locust Corners sits at the junction of S Waldron Rd and Beecher Rd, flanked by the Locust Corner Cem. This survey illustrates a resilient rural infrastructure of township-line roads and scattered small lakes such as Williams Lake and Bloomer Lake.
