2017 Map of Flushing

About this map

The Flint River winds diagonally through this Genesee County landscape, anchoring the city of Flushing and its surrounding township. By the mid-2010s, the area reflects a transition from the wooded reaches of the Manistee National Forest in the northwest to the suburban expansion approaching from the southeast. Local aviation history is marked by the presence of Cedarville Airport and Dalton Airport, while the region's long-standing community roots are visible in an extensive network of burial grounds, including Flushing Cem, Flint Cem, and Sunset Hills Cem. A complex drainage system including Cattail Swamp Drain and Pollock Brook illustrates the managed hydrology of the Michigan terrain, while the Flushing Co Park provides a significant greenway along the river banks just west of the primary settlement.
