2019 Map of Pleasant Valley

About this map

Oil City sits at the northern edge of this Isabella and Midland County borderland, where the Chippewa River winds eastward through a landscape marked by a dense network of agricultural drains and small creeks. The terrain is defined by its water management, with features like Frost Drain, S Carl Drain, and Kirch Drain supporting the rural tracts surrounding Pleasant Valley. This survey captures the region's mid-century character, where family-named roads like N Magruder Rd and S Alamando Rd define the local geography. Local history is anchored by the presence of Kelly Cem and Greendale Cem, providing essential points of reference for genealogists researching the area's established families. The mapping of Thrasher Cr and Little Salt Cr illustrates the complex drainage required by the low-lying mid-Michigan territory.
