2014 Map of Owendale

About this map

Owendale stands as the primary settlement in this corner of Michigan's Thumb region, situated where Sebewaing Rd meets Owendale Rd. The landscape is defined by the straight lines of the Public Land Survey System, with roads like Canboro Rd and Rescue Rd following section lines across a predominantly agricultural plain. The boundary between Huron Co and Tuscola Co bisects the map horizontally, roughly following Huron Line Rd, providing a clear look at how county jurisdictions organized the rural landscape. To the west, the small hamlet of Bach sits at the intersection of Bach Rd and Bayport Rd. Natural drainage is provided by the meandering courses of Shebeon Cr and Swamp Cr, which offer a sharp contrast to the rigid geometry of the surrounding farm blocks and rural transport network.
