1921 Map of Burt

About this map

The Flint River carves a winding path through this 1919 landscape, serving as a central geographic anchor for the rural communities of southern Saginaw and northern Genesee Counties. This era showcases a transition in transportation, where the Michigan Electric Railway parallels the traditional road network near Birch Run, reflecting the early 20th-century expansion of interurban travel. The sheet is exceptionally dense with rural infrastructure, documenting dozens of family-named schools and churches that served these farming townships.
