About this map

Pinconning and the surrounding marshy lowlands of Bay County meet the waters of Saginaw Bay in this 2019 survey. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of drainage channels designed to manage the flat coastal terrain, including Fanger Drain, Bartlett Drain, and Willette Drain. These waterways support a rural infrastructure where small settlements like Meyers Beach sit near prominent coastal features such as Nayanquing Point and Mallard Point. The town of Pinconning itself is shown with its grid of streets, including Huron Road and North Water Street, serving as a central hub for the surrounding agricultural and shoreline properties.

Local history and genealogy are anchored by several notable burial sites throughout the township, such as Saint Michaels Cem, Saint John Memorial Cem, and the Fraser Township Cem. Further south, the map details the shoreline geography of Lake Huron, identifying Lengsville Point and the underwater shelf of Pinconning Bar. This map serves as a contemporary record of the region's relationship with the lake, documenting how roads like North Peterson Beach Road provide access to the waterfront.
