2011 Map of Flint North

About this map

Flint and its northern suburbs are defined by a complex network of waterways and educational institutions at the start of the 2010s. The Flint River winds through the urban core, joined by tributaries like Swartz Creek, Thread Creek, and Gilkey Creek. This landscape is a center of higher education, featuring the campuses of Kettering University and the University of Michigan - Flint. Northward, the communities of Beecher and Mount Morris provide a suburban transition, marked by the Genesee County Fairgrounds and the Mount Morris Post Office. The area's cultural and genealogical history is deeply etched into the land through numerous memorial sites, including the Assyrian Cemetery, Machpelah Cemetery, and Saint Michael's Byzantine Catholic Cemetery. Transportation and industry intersect at McGrew Junction, while recreational spaces like the Kearsley Lake Municipal Golf Course and Thread Lake offer green space amidst the grid of city streets.
