2011 Map of Floyd

About this map

The Chippewa River and Pine River meander through this section of Midland County, defining the drainage patterns and historical development of the region. The landscape reflects a mix of small rural settlements and industrial utility, most notably marked by the Porter Oil Field in the southern portion of the map. Local history and genealogy are centered around the Lee Township Cemetery and Porter Township Cemetery, which serve as anchors for the surrounding communities of Floyd, Porter, and Saint Elmo. The mapping reveals a transition in residential development, from established rural nodes to newer developments like the Whispering Pines Housing Community. Recreational spaces are also evident along the waterways, such as the River Ridge Campground situated near a bend in the Pine River. A dense network of section-line roads, including W Chippewa River Rd and W Pine River Rd, connects these diverse land uses across the river valleys.
