About this map

The Cass River and Flint River converge toward the larger Saginaw basin in this late-1960s survey of southern Saginaw County. The landscape is defined by its low-lying hydrology, with the Shiawassee National Wildlife Refuge protecting the western marshlands near Ferguson Bayou. Rural settlements like Fosters and the outskirts of Bridgeport are connected by a network of sectional roads and the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad.

Genealogists will find a wealth of local landmarks, including the Taymouth Cem and Spaulding Cem, along with numerous one-room schoolhouses such as Mahar Sch and Orville Sch. The area's mid-century industrial activity is evidenced by scattered Sandpit operations and the Radio Towers (WKNX) near the Gabel Rd junction, illustrating the transition from traditional farming to a more modernized infrastructure.
