Willard and the surrounding agricultural townships of Garfield, Fraser, and Beaver are defined by a complex network of artificial and natural drainage systems. This early 1960s survey reveals a landscape intricately carved by numerous family-named drains, such as the Schmidt Drain and McNally Drain, which support the intensive farming of these Saginaw Bay lowlands. The settlement pattern is anchored by rural crossroads, including Three Churches Corner and North Williams, where local community life revolved around institutions like Zion Sch and the Townhall.
