About this map

The Shiawassee River and Flint River converge in this low-lying portion of Albee Township, creating a complex network of wetlands and bayous characteristic of the Saginaw Valley. This drainage system is further defined by substantial tributaries like Misteguay Creek, Swan Creek, and the Bad River. The small settlement of Clausedale stands as a focal point in the agricultural landscape south of the river bottoms, where the land transitions from saturated marshlands to a grid of rural section roads. For researchers, the map details the intricate hydrography of the region, featuring named landmarks such as Crystal Bayou and Kimberly Bayou. The presence of the Ferguson Bayou Nature Trail indicates the modern conservation and recreational use of these historical wetlands, which have long dictated the settlement patterns and transportation routes through this part of Saginaw County.
