2019 Map of Bay Port East

About this map

Pigeon and Bay Port anchor this Huron County landscape, where the fertile plains of the Michigan Thumb meet the waters of Wild Fowl Bay. The area's deep-rooted agricultural and community history is visible through a high density of rural burial grounds, including the Old Bay Port Cem, Saint Johns Cem, and the Memorial Cem. The winding course of the Pigeon River and Shebeon Cr defines the drainage of these lowlands, which are crisscrossed by a grid of farm-to-market roads like Pigeon Rd and Geiger Rd. Smaller settlements such as Berne, Kilmanagh, and Linkville highlight the early 21st-century distribution of residential clusters away from the primary town centers. This survey captures the region's reliance on the land, from the shoreline of Lake Huron to the interior homesteads served by the Pigeon River Mennonite Cem and Saint Borgia Cem.
