About this map

Libhart Creek and Tupper Creek flow through this rural landscape of Michigan's central farmlands, where the boundaries of Berlin, Orange, Odessa, and Sebewa townships converge. The 1970s character of the region is defined by its small crossroads settlements and a network of well-maintained county highways like Musgrove Highway and Eaton Highway. The Chesapeake and Ohio railroad corridor anchors the southern portion of the sheet near the community of Woodbury, which serves as a local hub alongside the Lakewood High Sch campus.

Genealogists will find significant detail in the placement of numerous country churches and burial grounds, including the Alderman Cem and Meyers Cem. Small interior lakes such as Little Lake, Mini Lake, and Augst Lake dot the terrain, while the private Stony Acres Landing Strip represents the era's local aviation footprint. The map also documents industrial sites like several Gravel Pits and various municipal sewage disposal ponds, providing a complete record of the mid-Michigan township infrastructure.
