Canada Corners

Driving out here means unpaved roads that narrow as you go deeper, past properties marked by long driveways and mail boxes at the street—the kind of place where you're trading pavement for elbow room. What remains of this former crossroads settlement is sparse; the stores are long gone, but the land tells the story of why people stay: multi-acre parcels with pole barns and workshops, manufactured homes and ranch-styles on acreage in Casnovia township, the kind of setup that lets you actually do something with your property rather than just look at it. You'll find the occasional service—pet grooming operates out of a house here—but mainly what's left is quiet, low density, and enough space that you're not borrowing your neighbor's Wi-Fi through the walls. It's the kind of place someone moves to specifically, not accidentally.
