About this map

The city of Frankenmuth serves as the focal point of this Michigan landscape, situated along the winding banks of the Cass River. The 2017 survey details a region defined by its German heritage and agricultural roots, visible in landmarks such as the Saint John's Evangelical Lutheran church and the Wm 'Tiny' Zehnder Field. Beyond the city limits, the landscape transitions into a grid of rural roads and drainage systems, including the Ortner Drain and Jordon Drain, essential for managing the low-lying terrain of the Saginaw Valley.

Downstream, the settlement of Tuscola sits near the confluence where Millington Cr meets the river. For genealogists, the map identifies several significant burial sites, including Frankenmuth Township Cem, Tuscola Cem, Arbela Cem, and Hammond Cem. The map provides a clear picture of the modern infrastructure and drainage networks like Dead Cr and Boots Drain that support this productive farming region.
