About this map

The Chippewa River meanders across the northern half of this landscape, anchoring a region defined by its history of extraction and rural settlement. The presence of the Mount Pleasant Oil Field and the Porter Oil Field points to the area's industrial legacy, where energy resources have long shaped the local economy and land use patterns. Small residential hubs like Oil City and Pleasant Valley are situated among a dense network of country roads, including W Bay City Rd and S Coleman Rd.

Waterways define the southern drainage, with Salt Creek and Little Salt Creek carving through the terrain. Cultural and recreational sites are scattered throughout, from the Kelly Cemetery and Greendale Cemetery to the Salt Rivers Acres Campground. This map also captures smaller landmarks such as Camelot Lake and several tributary streams like Thrasher Creek and Black Creek, providing a detailed view of the Isabella County interior in the early 21st century.
