About this map

The city of Coleman anchors the southwestern corner of this Midland County landscape, where the local street grid meets the Isabella County Line Rd. The surrounding territory is defined by a dense network of sectional roads and the industrial presence of the West Beaverton Oil Field and the South Beaverton Oil Field. These fields indicate the area's long-standing connection to resource extraction, set against a backdrop of wooded parcels and creek drainages. Moving north, the settlement of Lyle sits near a prominent Railroad corridor that cuts diagonally through the townships.

Water plays a significant role in the local geography, with the South Branch Tobacco River winding through the northern reaches toward Ross Lake. Tributaries like Bluff Creek, Black Creek, and Bear Creek create natural breaks in the rigid road grid. Recreational sites such as Lost Haven Campground and Calhoun Campground suggest the transition from working oil fields and agricultural plots to seasonal outdoor spaces near the river and lake.
