About this map

The Chippewa River and Pine River systems converge in this part of Midland County, defining a landscape shaped by glacial heritage and contemporary water management. In the north, the settlement of Floyd sits near Lee Township Cem, while the Chippewa River meanders eastward, joined by a complex network of tributaries including Little Salt Creek and Salt Creek. The terrain is punctuated by Outback Ridge, a distinct elevation change overlooking the river valleys.

Further south, the community of Porter is situated along the banks of the Pine River, accompanied by the Porter Township Cem. This region is notable for its extensive drainage infrastructure, including the Knapp Cutoff Drain, Lawson Drain, and Centerline Drain, which manage the low-lying areas between the primary river courses. Genealogists will find interest in the scattered burial grounds like Wayne Cem, which serve as anchors for the rural townships of the area.
