2023 Map of Flushing

About this map

The Flint River winds prominently through the heart of Flushing, serving as the central geographic feature for this Genesee County landscape. This 2023 survey illustrates the modern interface between suburban development and the northern reaches of the Manistee National Forest, which appears as a managed woodland tract in the northwest quadrant. The area is characterized by an extensive network of cemeteries concentrated in the southeast, including Flint City Cem, Sunset Hills Cem, and New Calvary Catholic Cem. These sites, alongside local landmarks like Cedarville Airport and Dalton Airport, provide clear orientation for researchers studying local land use and genealogy. Numerous water management features such as Hartshorn Drain and Cattail Swamp Drain intersect the primary road grid, including W Pierson Rd and Beecher Rd, showing how the natural drainage of the Flint River basin has been integrated into the regional infrastructure.
