2017 Map of Fairgrove

About this map

Fairgrove and Akron anchor this agricultural region of Tuscola County, where the landscape is defined by a rigorous grid of section lines and township boundaries. The transition between t14n r8e and t13n r8e reveals a highly organized land-use pattern typical of Michigan's Thumb, dominated by long-established farmstead roads and drainage networks. Smaller historic hubs like Bradleyville and Wisner are connected by major thoroughfares such as W Bay City Forestville Rd and Cass City Rd. Genealogy researchers can find several notable burial sites serving these rural communities, including Brookside Cem near the southern edge, Perkins Cem to the east, and Wisner Cem in the northwest corner. This network of country roads, including Elmwood Rd and Dutcher Rd, provides a clear view of the settlement density and land divisions in the late 2010s.
