2019 Map of Quanicassee

About this map

Quanicassee sits at the southern edge of Saginaw Bay, where the Quanicassee River meets the expansive Quanicassee Marsh. This landscape is defined by its transition from the waters of Lake Huron to the flat, productive agricultural lands of Gilford Township. The map illustrates a strict section-line road grid that characterizes the region's rural development, with coastal landmarks like Coryeon Point and Long Point punctuating the shoreline. The boundary between Bay and Tuscola counties is clearly marked, following the Bay Co Tuscola Co Line Rd as it cuts south through the interior. Historically a drainage-heavy area, the network of ditches and roads such as E Youngs Ditch Rd and German Rd reveals the intensive engineering required to convert these low-lying coastal marshes into farmable terrain.
