2017 Map of Swartz Creek

About this map

The city of Swartz Creek and the western periphery of Flint define the landscape of this 2017 survey. The region is characterized by a dense network of suburban developments and drainage infrastructure, such as the Howland Drain and Sprague Drain, supporting the transition from the industrial hubs of Genesee County into the surrounding townships. Aviation history is prominent on this sheet, featuring the expansive Bishop International Airport alongside the smaller Barnstormers Airport to the southwest. For genealogists and local historians, the map preserves the locations of numerous community landmarks including Saint Marys Cem, the Dart Family Cem, and Pierce Cem. To the southeast, the small settlement of Rankin sits near several tributaries like Indian Cr, illustrating the area's continued reliance on a complex system of creeks and man-made drains.
