About this map

Penn Central rail lines and the busy corridor of Interstate 75 bisect this section of Bay County, marking a period of significant infrastructure development. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of agricultural drainage, including the Pinconning River, Johnson Drain, and Erickson Drain, which support the rural farmsteads of Mount Forest, Pinconning, and Garfield townships. Small community hubs like Woodville, Willard, and Crump anchor the local road grid.

Local history is preserved in the placement of the Mount Forest Sch, Townhall, and several religious landmarks such as St Marys Church and its accompanying St Marys Cemetery. These sites, along with the Garfield-Fraser Sch and Forest Hill Cemetery, provide specific geographic points for genealogical research. Numerous Sandpit locations across the quadrangle indicate the local importance of aggregate mining in shaping the mid-century terrain.
