About this map

The Red Cedar River meanders eastward through Ingham County, anchoring a landscape that bridges the suburban growth of Okemos and Haslett with the more established town center of Williamston. This 2023 survey provides a contemporary perspective on the region's historical layout, preserving the location of numerous small burial grounds such as Brick Cem and Foote Cem that predate the modern residential expansion. The network of rural roads, including Haslett Rd and Germany Rd, still follows the traditional township grid system even as new developments like Wind N Wood Dr begin to fill the spaces between traditional agricultural tracts.

Evidence of the area's diverse land use appears in the presence of Maidens Airport nestled among the fields north of the river. Small tributaries like Sloan Creek, Deer Creek, and Doan Creek drain the surrounding plains, illustrating the hydrology that originally shaped the settlement patterns of Meridian and its neighbors. Genealogists will find the distribution of cemeteries, from Saint Katherine's Episcopal Cem in the west to Cabot Cem in the east, useful for mapping early family lineages across these central Michigan townships.
