1967 Map of Pinconning

About this map

Pinconning serves as the focal point of this coastal survey, where the Penn Central Railroad and the Detroit and Mackinac Railroad converge to facilitate the region's transport and industry. The settlement's proximity to the shallow waters of Saginaw Bay is reflected in the numerous shoreline developments such as Almeda Beach and Nu-Crest Beach. The landscape is characterized by a complex network of man-made waterways, including Walk Drain and Fanger Drain, which underscore the historical efforts to manage the low-lying terrain for agricultural use. To the south, the preservation of the natural marshy ecosystem is evident in the Nayanquing Point Wildlife Area, which stretches toward Nayanquing Point. Local history is anchored by sites like St Michaels Cem and the St John Memorial Cem, marking the spiritual and communal centers of this Bay County community during the late 1960s.
