2011 Map of Kawkawlin

About this map

The coastal settlements of Saginaw Bay dominate this 2011 survey, showing a landscape defined by its connection to Lake Huron and the winding Kawkawlin River. The shoreline is tightly packed with residential developments and vacation communities, including Linwood Beach, Brissette Beach, and Lagoon Beach. In the interior, the Kawkawlin Oil Field and the North Branch Kawkawlin River illustrate the transition from the lake's industrial and recreational edge to Michigan’s agricultural and resource-rich hinterland. Significant local landmarks such as Davenport University and the Saginaw Valley Naval Ship are documented alongside vital community institutions like the Kawkawlin Post Office and Heavenly Rest Cemetery. The vast Tobico Marsh and Tobico Lagoon provide a distinct natural break between the beachfront clusters, preserving the wetlands that separate Little Killarney Beach from the more developed southern reaches near Donahue Beach.
