About this map

Saginaw Bay defines the eastern edge of this Michigan landscape, where the shoreline is dotted with small residential developments like Lagoon Beach and Linwood Beach. The interior reflects a complex drainage system essential for the low-lying terrain, characterized by a network of named ditches such as Rosebush Drain and Indian Town Drain. The Kawkawlin River and its North Branch wind through the southern sections, anchoring the village of Kawkawlin.

Genealogists will find significant local landmarks, including the St Ann Cem and Heavenly Rest Cem, along with numerous neighborhood schools like Bangor-Lincoln Sch and Brissette Sch. Transportation and industry of the era are represented by the Penn Central and Detroit and Mackinac railroads, while the Tobico Marsh State Game Area and Bay City State Park preserve the natural marshes and lagoons near the coast.
