About this map

The Tittabawassee River winds through the heart of this landscape, anchoring the settlements of Sanford and Averill. The area is defined by an extensive drainage network, including Sturgeon Creek, Dittmar Drain, and Bensch Drain, reflecting the hydrologic complexity of Midland County. Near the southern boundary, the campus of Northwood University sits adjacent to the Midland Municipal Cem, while the Jack Barstow Airport occupies the southeastern corner.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the distribution of burial grounds across the townships, such as The Old Amish Cem and the Larkin Township Cem. The northern portion of the map shows the quiet hamlet of Bombay, surrounded by numerous agricultural drains like Boyle Drain and Morris Drain. The map documents a blend of academic infrastructure, aviation facilities, and traditional rural settlements established along the river's path.
