The Ford River winds through the heart of this coastal Delta County landscape, meeting the shores of Lake Michigan near the settlement of Ford River. This area is defined by its low-lying drainage patterns, with numerous small waterways like Fivemile Cr, Sunny Brook, and the curiously named No See-um Cr feeding into the larger river system or independent basins like North Lake. Small communities and named locales such as Pine Ridge, Hyde, and Narenta are situated along the transit corridor of Us-2, while Island View looks out toward the shoreline. Local history is anchored by the W Ford River Cem and the distinctive Round Island, reflecting a geography where the peninsula's interior forests give way to the complex hydrology of the Great Lakes coast.
