2017 Map of Lakefield

About this map

The Bad River meanders across this rural section of Saginaw County, defining a landscape of low-lying wetlands and complex drainage patterns. In the early 21st century, the small community of Lakefield serves as a central point, anchored by the nearby Lakefield Cem and Sacred Heart Cem. The terrain is deeply influenced by a network of waterways including Eagle Cr, Little Eagle Cr, and the Webb Drain, which support the region's agricultural character. A rigid grid of township roads, such as S Merrill Rd and Roosevelt Rd, segments the land, reflecting the persistent structure of the Public Land Survey System. The map also identifies the smaller localities of Galloway on the western edge and Fordney further south, illustrating the quiet, dispersed settlement pattern of this interior Michigan township.
