2011 Map of Owendale

About this map

Owendale serves as the primary hub in this portion of Michigan's Thumb, characterized by a meticulous grid of agricultural roads and the diagonal passage of Shebeon Creek. The village center is anchored by the Owendale Post Office and follows the layout of Main St. Further south, the settlement of Bach sits at the intersection of Bach Rd and Bay Port Rd, representing the smaller rural clusters common to the region. The landscape is largely defined by its drainage and transport network, with Swamp Creek winding through the western fields. Near the southern boundary, Saint Agatha's Cemetery provides a specific point of interest for genealogists and local historians, situated along Bay City Forestville Rd. This survey captures the enduring rural character of the area, where family names often define the local thoroughfares.
