About this map

The Cass River and its various branches, including the North Branch Cass River and South Branch Cass River, define the landscape of this region in Tuscola County. The settlement of Cass City serves as the primary hub, where local history is anchored by Elkland Cem and Huntsville Park. Further south, the community of Deford sits near the confluence of local drainages like Gowing Drain and McCallum Drain.

A network of drainage ditches and small creeks, such as N Br White Cr and Mud Cr, illustrates the engineering required to manage the flat agricultural lands between the river forks. This map also preserves the location of Novesta Church Cem, a key landmark for genealogical research along Delong Rd. The grid of section lines and roads like Cass City Rd and Elmwood Rd reveals a highly organized rural settlement pattern established by the mid-20th century.
