2014 Map of Swartz Creek

About this map

Swartz Creek and the western edge of Flint are defined by a complex drainage network and early 21st-century suburban growth. This landscape is characterized by the W Br Swartz Cr and numerous man-made channels like Kimball Drain, Porter Drain, and Slocum Drain, illustrating a long history of water management to support both agriculture and expanding residential tracts. Transportation infrastructure is central to the area's layout, anchored by the Swartz Creek Station and the sprawling Bishop International Airport. Genealogists will find several burial grounds across the township, ranging from the Dart Family Cem to the Saint Marys Cem. Small communities like Rankin and landmarks such as the Barnstormers Five Airport provide focal points for local history within the grid of sections like t7n r5e.
