About this map

Pinconning River and its southern branch wind through this corner of Bay County, defining a landscape heavily shaped by agricultural drainage. The rural character of the region is punctuated by small settlements like Crump and Woodville, while a series of intricate man-made waterways such as Ryan Drain and Tebo Drain facilitate the area's farming economy. The presence of several community burial grounds, including Saint Marys Cem, Mount Forest Township Cem, and Forest Hill Cem, provides a map of the area's genealogical history and early settlement patterns.

Local transportation is anchored by a grid of named section roads and the north-south artery near Woodville, where the Pinconning Rest Area serves travelers. Aviation interests are represented by Gross Airport on the eastern edge of the survey. The extensive network of drains, from Erickson Drain to the Fraser Garfield Drain, illustrates the late-twentieth-century engineering required to manage the flat, low-lying terrain of the Saginaw Bay watershed.
