About this map

The urban centers of Flint and Saginaw anchor this mid-1980s landscape, illustrating the industrial and residential expansion within Genesee Co, Saginaw Co, and Lapeer Co. The map captures the significant water management and recreational infrastructure of the era, including the expansive Holloway Reservoir and the Genesee Recreation Area. Transit networks are well-defined, showing the major corridors of I-75 and I-69 alongside the established routes of the Chesapeake and Ohio RR and Grand Trunk Western RR.

Smaller settlements and rural pockets like Thetford Center Sch, Columbiaville, and Montrose are shown in detail, providing a look at the local geography before further late-century development. In the northwest, the Shiawassee National Wildlife Refuge and Crow Island highlight preserved natural areas along the Saginaw River, while the eastern reaches toward Lapeer and Imlay City reflect the region's diverse mix of municipal hubs and state game areas.
