Bay City and its industrial and academic surroundings define this 2017 study of the Saginaw River valley. The urban center is characterized by a dense grid of streets and bridges crossing the river to Middle Ground, while the southern reaches transition into more specialized landscapes. Here, the campus of Saginaw Valley State Univ and Delta Coll sit amidst a network of drainage systems like Squaconning Creek and the Kochville and Frankenlust Drain. The region's history is preserved in numerous burial grounds, including Oak Ridge Cem and several Lutheran cemeteries. Along the river, prominent landforms like Skull Island and Stony Island appear alongside the James Clements Municipal Airport, illustrating the mixture of aviation infrastructure and the natural marshy wetlands that border the Bay Co Saginaw Co line.
