About this map

The Cass River and the Flint River converge within this Saginaw County landscape, creating a complex network of waterways and managed drainage systems. The northern settlement of Bridgeport sits near the river bend, while the community of Fosters is located further south along the Railroad St corridor. This area reflects a long-standing agricultural and rural residential character, evidenced by the numerous local cemeteries that serve as focal points for family history, including Oak Grove Cem, Spaulding Cem, and Taymouth Cem.

A dense system of namesake drains and creeks, such as Cole Drain, Birch Run, and Misteguay Cr, crisscross the townships of T11N and T10N. These features, along with the Dixie Hwy, trace the historical development of the region's transport and land management. Researchers can find well-documented property boundaries and local landmarks that highlight the transition from river-dependent trade to a modern road-based economy.
