About this map

Thomas and Bay Park anchor the shoreline of Saginaw Bay on this 2019 survey of the Michigan coast. The landscape is defined by the prominent landform of Fish Point, where the low-lying terrain meets the waters of Lake Huron. The interior shows a rigorous grid of drainage and irrigation, exemplified by the Wisconsin Drain and numerous straight-line section roads such as Ringle Rd and Clark Rd. These roads segment the agricultural lands of Akron Township, reflecting a highly managed rural environment where small settlements like Oakhurst serve as local crossroads.

Evidence of historical community life appears at the Hickory Highland Cem located along W Bay City Forestville Rd. The map also captures the administrative boundary between Huron Co and Tuscola Co as it extends into the bay. This document provides a clear look at how human infrastructure—from the cottages along Cottage Dr to the expansive drainage networks—has been adapted to the coastal wetlands and fertile plains of the Thumb region.
