2017 Map of Clio

About this map

Clio and Mount Morris anchor this Genesee County landscape, where the agricultural grid of the Thumb region is etched with numerous drainage systems. The area's water-management history is visible through named features such as Alpine and Blackmore Drain, Horton Graham Drain, and Runnels Drain, reflecting the transformation of this terrain for settlement and farming. Along the corridor between Clio and Mount Morris, the community of Pine Run persists near its namesake creek, while the presence of several cemeteries—including Pine Run Cem and Woodlawn Cem—offers points of interest for genealogical research. To the east, Thetford Center marks a smaller hub of activity. The transition from town to country is further delineated by Flint Memorial Park and the rural intersection at Farrandville, documenting the spatial organization of these communities in the early 21st century.
