Squaconning Creek in Frankenlust Township, Bay County, MI, frozen, February 10, 2004, looking downstream (north) from bridge on Ziegler Road toward Bay City, one half mile north of I-75. Steam of Monitor Sugar factory rising in the distance, shale pile of abandoned Monitor coal mine at left. Water level is at a long-term low stage. In higher-level years, brown vegetation at left would be nonexistent because water would cover that area.
