About this map

Agricultural patterns and water management define this portion of Traverse County during the mid-2010s. The landscape is primarily organized by a rigid grid of township roads and county highways, supporting large-scale farming across townships t129n r46w and t128n r46w. Drainage infrastructure is central to the area's geography, with the Mustinka River and Fivemile Cr supplemented by engineered waterways like County Drain Number Thirty-six and County Drain Number Twenty-seven. These systems, along with the visible Old Channel, indicate the significant modification of the natural hydrology to accommodate high-yield prairie agriculture.
