About this map

The Tittabawassee River flows through this portion of Michigan, serving as the southern anchor for the growing city of Midland. In this 2011 survey, the transition from urban to rural is marked by the presence of large institutional footprints, including the campus of Northwood University and the Midland County Fairgrounds. To the west, the settlement of Averill sits near the riverbanks, while the northern reaches of the quadrangle are defined by the small community of Bombay and its surrounding agricultural grid.

Genealogists will find a high density of burial grounds throughout the area, from the central Midland City Cemetery to smaller sites like Old Bombay Cemetery and Larkin Cemetery. Industrial history is represented by the Sanford Oil Field near the shores of Sanford Lake. The landscape is intricately drained by numerous waterways, such as Sturgeon Creek and Gratiot Creek, which meander through the woodlots and fields between the major road corridors of E Saginaw Rd and Airport Rd.
