About this map

The Chippewa River flows across the northern reach of this Isabella and Midland County landscape, anchoring a region defined by its small settlements and rural section lines. The community of Oil City sits near the river's path, while further south, the namesake Pleasant Valley marks the lower terrain. This area is characterized by an extensive drainage network, including Little Salt Cr, Thresher Cr, and Onion Cr, which weave through the agricultural and wooded parcels.

Genealogists and local historians can locate the Kelly Cem in the north and the Greendale Cem further east, providing vital points of reference for the families who settled this part of Michigan. The terrain is marked by engineered water management features like the Kirch Drain and Frost Drain, alongside recreational landmarks such as Camelot Lake. These features, combined with a dense grid of county roads like S Coleman Rd and W Isabella Rd, illustrate the long-standing land use patterns of Coe and Greendale townships.
