2019 Map of Mount Forest

About this map

Mount Forest and Nine Mile stand as the primary points of settlement in this 2019 study of northern Bay County. The landscape is defined by a sophisticated network of artificial drainage and natural waterways that manage the low-lying terrain. Features like the Sunsmith Drain, Legness Drain, and Selleck Drain weave between section lines, reflecting a long-standing regional commitment to agricultural land reclamation. To the north, the S Br Pine River and Middle Br Pine River cross the border into Arenac County, while the Saganing River flows toward the eastern reaches. The map reveals a strictly organized rural grid, where roads like N 7 Mile Rd and 9 Mile Rd mark the transition from the forested pockets of the south to the more open township lands above M 61.
