About this map

Taymouth and the riverfront settlement of Morseville occupy the northwestern corner of this landscape, where the Flint River meanders through Saginaw County. The terrain is defined by a dense network of agricultural drainage and small waterways, including Pitch Creek, Pine Run, and Brent Run, which dictate the placement of rural roads and homesteads. Further east, the Birch Run vicinity shows the influence of modern transportation corridors, with the Birch Run Post Office and commercial development near the interchange.

Genealogists and local historians can locate long-standing landmarks such as Montrose Cemetery and West Vienna Cemetery. Small-scale aviation and recreation are represented by Cagney Airport, the Clio Golf Course, and the private landing area at Cromptons Strip. The transition from the river-fed lowlands in the west to the developed transit corridor in the east provides a clear look at early 21st-century land use in Taymouth Township.
