2011 Map of Mount Forest

About this map

Mount Forest and Nine Mile stand as the primary community centers in this northern portion of Bay County. The landscape is defined by a dense grid of rural roads and an extensive network of water management features, including the Sunsmith Drain, Budd Drain, and Selleck Drain. These man-made channels support the agricultural utility of the land between the natural courses of the Middle Branch Pine River and South Branch Pine River. In the southern half of the quadrangle, Saganing Creek winds through the terrain, while major transportation arteries like the north-south interstate corridor facilitate travel through the township. The map reveals a structured settlement pattern where residential clusters and farmsteads are closely tied to the intersection of county roads such as Bentley Rd and 8 Mile Rd.
