Mile Road System (Michigan)

Bay County

In Bay County, roads west of the Saginaw River are numbered with the river (or, north of the river, State Street) marking the origin.

Calhoun County

Going east from the county line between Calhoun and Kalamazoo counties. Many of the roads are known by both their mile names and their traditional names.
