About this map

Bay City serves as the industrial and civic heart of this region, oriented along the winding path of the Saginaw River. The river's course is punctuated by significant landforms such as Middle Ground, Skull Island, and Stony Island, while the western periphery transitions into a landscape of agricultural drainage and academic centers. This area is home to both Delta College and Saginaw Valley State University, located near the southern boundary where the city meets the Bay County and Saginaw County line.

Local history is preserved through several large cemeteries, including Oak Ridge Cem in the north and the Saint Paul Lutheran Cem and Saint John's Lutheran Cem farther south. The map documents a complex network of waterways, from the Squaconning Creek to the Kochville Drain, illustrating the extensive drainage systems required to manage the low-lying terrain surrounding the river and the James Clements Municipal Airport.
