2014 Map of Midland North

About this map

Midland serves as the southern anchor for this Michigan survey, where urban residential streets transition into a strictly gridded agricultural landscape. The northern reaches are characterized by the small settlements of Larkin and Duel, set among a complex network of artificial and natural waterways designed to manage the low-lying terrain. Many of these channels, such as Waldo Drain, Pashok Drain, and Dingman Drain, follow the section lines of the Public Land Survey System, illustrating how drainage engineering has historically shaped the region's farming viability.
