About this map

The Shiawassee River cuts across the southeast corner of this Saginaw County landscape, connecting the small riverside communities of Oakley and Parshallburg. This area reflects a deep-rooted agricultural and civic layout, where the rectangular grid of rural roads like S Hemlock Rd and Fordney Rd is punctuated by historic churchyards and cemeteries, including Saint Michael's Catholic Cemetery and the remote Ridge Road Cemetery. These sites provide significant data for genealogical research in Chesaning Township.

Civic life and local heritage are anchored by landmarks such as the Oakley Post Office and the Saginaw County Fairgrounds near Chesaning. The terrain is defined by a network of drainage systems and creeks, such as Deer Creek and Pickerel Creek, which support the surrounding farmland. Transportation and local commerce are further represented by the Howard Nixon Memorial Airport, while the northern reaches include the settlement of Groveton and the Saint John's Lutheran Cemetery.
