2011 Map of Estey

About this map

Estey serves as a central point in this rural section of Michigan, where the landscape is defined by the headwaters of several regional waterways. The map illustrates a grid-heavy road network typical of the Midwest, punctuated by the Bentley Oil Field in the west, indicating the area's history with resource extraction. This 2011 survey reveals the hydrological importance of the region, as the North Branch Kawkawlin River and Kawkawlin Creek wind southward through the terrain. The presence of significant boundaries like Bay Glad County Line Rd and N Bay Mid County Line Rd shows how political geography often follows the practical placement of local infrastructure. To the north and east, the South Branch Pinconning River and Pinconning River further emphasize the drainage patterns that have shaped the development and agricultural layout of this township.
