2023 Map of Swartz Creek
USGS Topo · Published 2023About this map
Swartz Creek serves as the focal point for this Genesee County landscape, where suburban expansion from nearby Flint meets the managed drainage systems of the Michigan interior. The map reveals a complex hydrologic network, including the West Branch Swartz Creek and numerous man-made channels like Kimball Drain and Porter Drain, which historically allowed for the development of these flatlands. Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of burial sites, ranging from the Chippewa Nation Indian Cem to the Dart Family Cem and Saint Marys Cem. Transportation infrastructure is a dominant theme, featuring the large-scale Bishop International Airport and the smaller Barnstormers 5 Airport, while the settlement of Rankin sits at a traditional crossroads in the southeast. This layout reflects the area's transition from a water-managed agricultural zone to a modern residential and transit corridor.
