About this map

The Shiawassee River anchors this agricultural landscape of central Michigan, winding northward toward the village of Chesaning. The terrain is defined by a dense network of water management features, including the Albert Drain, Ivey Drain, and Sigmund Drain, which reflect a century of engineering required to support the productive farmlands between the Saginaw and Shiawassee county line.

For genealogists and local historians, the sheet preserves the locations of several burial grounds, such as Saint Mary Cem and West Albee Cem near the small settlement of Luce. Transportation is dominated by a rigid section-line road grid, including Corunna Rd and Chesaning Rd, which connect rural farmsteads to the central hub at Chesaning. Landmarks like the Maple Grove Airpark illustrate the continued utility of this flat, open country in the modern era.
