2011 Map of Standish NE

About this map

Lake Huron and the northwestern waters of Saginaw Bay dominate this survey, revealing the intricate interface between the Michigan shoreline and the Great Lakes. The terrestrial landscape is defined by the outflow of several watercourses, most notably the Rifle River and Pine River, which meander through the coastal lowlands of Arenac County. Notable coastal markers include the projection of Greens Point and the submerged profile of Saganing Bar, features essential for navigating these shallow bay waters. The rural road network, featuring Langdon Rd and Wigwam Rd, traces the agricultural and residential development just inland from the marshes and river mouths. This 2011 record documents the hydrology of the region, including the paths of Big Creek and the drainage patterns that have shaped the local geography for generations.
