2023 Map of Fish Point

About this map

Saginaw Bay defines the northwestern edge of this landscape, where the land fragment of Fish Point juts into the water. This 2023 edition documents the low-lying coastal terrain of Tuscola County, characterized by a complex network of drainage and roads that support the lakeside settlements. Small communities like Thomas, Bay Park, and Oakhurst are situated along the shoreline, reflecting a history of coastal habitation. Inland, the grid of section lines is marked by a concentration of agricultural roads, including Thomas Rd, Ringle Rd, and Austin Rd. The presence of Hickory Highland Cem near W Bay City Forestville Rd provides a specific point of interest for genealogists and local historians tracing the families who settled this marshy peninsula. The Wisconsin Drain further illustrates the engineered nature of the water management necessary in this shoreline environment.
