About this map

The eastern shores of Saginaw Bay meet the sprawling archipelago of Wild Fowl Bay in this 2014 survey. The landscape is defined by its complex shoreline, where dredging and natural processes have created distinct water passages like Rush Cut, Dynamite Cut, and Boxcar Cut. These channels thread between a series of named landforms including Middle Grounds Island, Maisou Island, and Heisterman Island, reflecting a shoreline shaped as much by maritime utility as by the elements.

On the mainland, the rural settlement of Weale sits at the junction of Weale Rd and S Unionville Rd, while the Bay Port Cem serves as a significant genealogical landmark near the northern edge of the sheet. The interior is a grid of agricultural and local access roads such as Geiger Rd and Kilmanagh Rd, which bridge the gap between the coastal marshlands and the farming communities of Huron County. The course of Shebeon Cr winds through the southern landscape, draining into the bay near Valley Island.
