About this map

Flint and its southern suburbs occupy this modern landscape, where urban density transitions into the expanding residential corridors of Burton and Grand Blanc. The area is characterized by a complex network of residential streets and heavy infrastructure, anchored by the presence of Bishop International Airport and Baker Coll of Flint. Waterways like Swartz Cr and Thread Cr wind through the developments, leading to local landmarks such as Thread Lake and Crystal Lake.

Genealogists and local historians will find several burial grounds preserved amidst the suburban growth, including the historic Bristol Cem, Evergreen Cem, and O'dell Cem. The settlement pattern reflects 21st-century Michigan, with established communities like Whigville and Rankin serving as focal points for the surrounding townships. Numerous drains, such as Hewitt-Drain and Brewer Drain, illustrate the intensive water management required for this developed terrain.
