2014 Map of Winn

About this map

Winn and Deerfield Center anchor this Isabella County landscape, where the agricultural grid is defined by a dense network of country roads. The Chippewa River meanders across the northern half of the quadrangle, joined by tributaries like Stony Brook and Squaw Cr, while Cedar Cr drains the southern fields near the town of Winn. This area is notably dense with community markers for genealogists and local historians, featuring numerous burial grounds including Saint Leo's Cem, Zion Cem, and the Broomfield Number One Cem. The presence of the Woodruff Lake Airport near Woodruff Lake indicates the modern utility of the land, yet the distribution of multiple "Center" settlements like Rolland Center suggests the deep-rooted township-based organization of mid-Michigan's rural interior.
