About this map

Oil City and Pleasant Valley anchor this modern topographical study of the borderlands between Isabella and Midland Counties. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of drainage and natural waterways, including the winding Chippewa River and the complex system of the Salt Creek and Little Salt Creek. The rural character is reinforced by long-established landmarks such as Kelly Cem in the north and the Greendale Township Cem to the east, providing essential points of reference for genealogical research.

Local transport follows a rigorous grid of section-line roads, with W Isabella Rd and SE Co Line Rd serving as primary corridors. The terrain is marked by specific drainage features like the South Carl Drain, Kirch Drain, and Frost Drain, reflecting the managed water systems necessary for this mid-Michigan environment. These detailed hydrological and road markers illustrate the persistent rural infrastructure of the region as it exists in the early twenty-first century.
