2023 Map of Pinconning

About this map

Pinconning serves as the focal point of this coastal survey, where the terrestrial landscape meets the expansive Saginaw Bay. The area's cultural history is marked by several significant sites, including the Old Indian Burial Ground and several local cemeteries such as Pinconning Township Cem and Saint Michaels Cem. Transport and drainage dominate the inland character, with the Lake State Railway running north-south through the settlement. A complex network of managed waterways, including Fanger Drain, Walk Drain, and Michalski Drain, illustrates the extensive efforts to manage the low-lying terrain for agricultural or residential use. Along the shoreline, geographic features like Nayanquing Point, Mallard Point, and Meyers Beach define the transition between the mainland and the bay, while the Pinconning River winds through the heart of the township.
