About this map

Sanford Lake and the winding Tittabawassee River dominate this landscape in Midland County, where the village of Sanford sits at the confluence of major waterways and regional roads. The topography reveals an intricate system of agricultural and water management features, including the Teed Drain, Irish Reed Drain, and Knapp Cutoff Drain. These man-made channels reflect the mid-Michigan tradition of converting marshy terrain into productive land.

Further west, the settlement of North Bradley serves as a local hub near the Geneva Community Cem and Geneva Cem. The presence of several established burial grounds, including the Sullivan Cem and Jerome Township Cem, provides significant touchpoints for genealogists tracing family roots in this corner of the Saginaw Valley watershed. The network of section roads like N Castor Rd and W Saginaw Rd connects smaller clusters like Francis Grove and Olson.
