2017 Map of Standish

About this map

Standish serves as the focal point of this coastal Arenac County study, situated just inland from the western shores of Lake Huron. The landscape is defined by the convergence of several waterways, including the Middle Br Pine River and S Br Pine River, which flow eastward toward the bay. For those researching local heritage, the map identifies numerous small communities and landing points such as Worth, Saganing, and Whites Beach. Detailed burial grounds are prominent, including Woodmere Cem, Saint Johns Cem, and Resurrection of the Lord Cem near the town center. The southern portion of the sheet crosses the boundary into Bay County, marked by the courses of the Saganing River and White Feather Cr. The grid of local roads, such as Old M-10 and Huron Rd, reveals a transition from the urban blocks of the county seat to the drainage-rich agricultural lands and shoreline marshes to the east.
