2017 Map of Averill

About this map

The Tittabawassee River flows through this corner of Midland County, anchoring a landscape where the urban expansion of Midland meets rural townships and managed woodlands. This modern survey illustrates the contemporary layout of the city's northwestern reaches, including the campus of Northwood Univ and the recreational expanse of the Midland City Forest. Outside the city center, the small communities of Sanford, Averill, and Bombay maintain their distinct identities amidst a dense network of agricultural and residential drainage systems like Sturgeon Cr and Sterns Drain. Genealogists will find several notable burial sites documented, including Midland Municipal Cem, Memorial Gardens Cem, and the historic Old Bombay Cem. The area's transportation and recreation history is further highlighted by the Pere Marquette State Trail, which follows an old rail corridor past the Jack Barstow Airport and through the river valley.
