Industrial activity is evident through scattered Gravel Pits and Pits along the riverbanks, particularly near the Landing Strip and Lake Nixon. The map reveals a transition from the level floodplain to the more dissected terrain of Portland and Westfield townships, where smaller tributaries like Beaver Creek and Union Creek feed into the river system.
