About this map

The Bad River and its multiple tributaries define this section of Saginaw County, where agricultural land meets a complex network of waterways. In the village of St. Charles, a concentrated grid of streets sits near the confluence of the river and Beaver Creek, serving as a focal point for the surrounding townships. The landscape is marked by a significant number of burial sites, including Saint Marys Catholic Cem and Saint Charles Cem, providing essential locations for genealogical research in this part of Michigan.

Further west, the settlement of Brant anchors the southwestern corner, while smaller localities such as Roosevelt, Garfield, and Nelson are scattered across the rural townships. The drainage patterns of the region are clearly visible through features like Eaton Drain, Webb Drain, and the meandering South Fork Bad River. These watercourses, combined with the section-line roads like S Hemlock Rd and Roosevelt Rd, reveal a landscape shaped by both natural hydrology and systematic land division.
