The Ford River winds through the wetlands of Delta County before emptying into Green Bay and Lake Michigan. This 2017 study shows the varied landscape of Ford River Township, where small settlements like Narenta, Pine Ridge, and Ford River sit among a network of creeks including Fivemile Creek and Fenton Creek. The coastal area is defined by Lake Shore drive, which passes through the community of Island View near the mouth of the river. Inland, the map documents several water bodies such as North Lake and South Lake, along with the curiously named No See-um Creek. These features illustrate the drainage patterns typical of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, where low-lying marshlands alternate with subtle ridges and established local routes like K Road and 10th Road.
