2014 Map of Midland South

About this map

The Tittabawassee River flows southeastward through this Michigan landscape, serving as a geographic anchor for the industrial and residential growth of south Midland. This 2014 survey captures the suburban and rural character of the region, from the dense street grids of Midland in the north to the quieter outlying settlements of Bullock Creek, Mapleton, and Freeland. The map reveals a complex network of man-made waterways designed to manage the flat terrain, including the Lingle Drain and Shaffner and Major Drain. Local history is preserved in the placement of several community landmarks, such as Pine Grove Cem near the riverbanks and the Poseyville Cem to the west. These details, alongside the many named drainage features like Parker Swamp Drain and Thurlow Tile Drain, offer a window into how the local environment has been shaped for agriculture and development over decades.
