About this map

The Cass River winds through the northern reach of this Tuscola County landscape, anchoring the settlement of Vassar. This agricultural corridor, documented in the early twenty-first century, is defined by a dense network of country roads such as Frankenmuth Rd and Murphy Lake Rd that connect the small hubs of Vassar and Millington. The presence of several established burial grounds, including Riverside Cemetery, Kilbourn Cemetery, and Fuller Cemetery, suggests a long-settled community with deep genealogical roots.

Industrial and community landmarks are clearly marked, from the Vassar Post Office to the southern cluster near the Millington Post Office. Local drainage patterns are traced through Goodings Creek and Millington Creek, while the Depot in Millington points to the historical importance of the rail corridor through the thumb region of Michigan. Recreational spaces like Tanke Field and Jensen Field appear alongside these traditional transportation and settlement markers.
