About this map

Mount Forest stands as the primary settlement in this section of Michigan, situated within a landscape defined by an extensive network of managed watercourses. The local hydrology is a mix of natural systems and early drainage infrastructure, featuring the Saganing River and White Feather Cr, alongside numerous agricultural conduits such as Sunsmith Drain, Legness Drain, and Selleck Drain. These features reflect the region's historical efforts to manage the low-lying terrain for productive use.

Transportation corridors like M 61 and W M-61 cross the rural landscape, connecting small hubs like Nine Mile to the broader county. The northern boundary is marked by the Arenac Co Bay Co line, where the S Br Pine River and Middle Br Pine River flow through the upper townships. The map provides a detailed view of the section lines and rural road grids, such as Stevenson Rd and Garfield Rd, that have dictated property boundaries and local travel for generations.
