About this map

Frankenmuth serves as the focal point of this 2019 survey, characterized by its distinct street grid and the winding course of the Cass River. The landscape is heavily defined by an intricate network of agricultural drainage systems, including Schluckbier Drain, List Drain, and Ortner Drain, which illustrate the region's managed hydrology and flat, fertile terrain. The map straddles the boundary between Saginaw Co and Tuscola Co, highlighting the village of Tuscola to the east.

Local history and genealogy are well-represented by several community landmarks, such as Saint John's Evangelical Lutheran Cem and Frankenmuth Township Cem. The presence of the Wm 'Tiny' Zehnder Field and family-named water features like Galsterer Drain and Baker McPherson Drain provide a detailed look at the local landownership and naming traditions that have shaped the area's identity into the 21st century.
