How to Use This China Township, Michigan Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for China Township, Michigan. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture. Drag the map to pan to any area of Michigan or beyond.

Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).

TOPO MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row offering three choices. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows the official USGS topographic maps from The National Map — contours, hydrography, land cover and shaded relief, the same mapping used for hiking, hunting and back-country navigation in the Adirondacks, the Catskills and the Finger Lakes. Imagery shows USGS aerial photography, mostly 1-metre NAIP. The search box finds any US town, county or landmark by name, so you are not limited to China Township.

Reading the map like a paper quad. Click Grid to overlay the U.S. National Grid (USNG), labelled along the edges exactly as a printed topographic sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass.

Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as a USNG grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — USNG being the format FEMA and US search and rescue teams work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need cell coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your coordinates stay correct even where the map itself cannot load.

About China Township, Michigan

China Township is a locality in St. Clair County, Michigan, United States. It has a population of approximately 3,600. The population density is 55.0 people per km². China Township is located at 42.7725°N, 82.5507°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/Detroit) timezone. ZIP code: 48054.

China Township occupies a wide expanse of the Michigan interior, defined by the steady, quiet passage of the Belle River as it carves a path through the flat, fertile earth. It lies 11.4 miles northeast of New Baltimore, MI (from New Baltimore, MI: bearing 56°T), and is situated 8.4 miles northeast of Ira. The landscape here is one of broad, open fields and dense patches of woodland that hold the morning frost long after the sun has climbed into the pale sky. At the center of this rural stretch, Township Hall Park provides a quiet anchor for the community, offering a patch of green space where the wind moves through the grass with a dry, rhythmic whisper. Eight miles to the east, the expansive surface of Lake Saint Clair exerts a subtle influence on the local climate, bringing a tempering moisture to the air that keeps the summers lush and the winters brittle.

China Township maintains a character forged by the slow, deliberate pace of agricultural life and the enduring legacy of the regional industrial spirit. The economy remains tethered to the productivity of the soil, with farmsteads dotting the horizon where silos stand like sentinels against the encroaching gray of autumn clouds. Local history is etched into the grid of roads that track the section lines, reflecting a time when the movement of goods and the cultivation of the land dictated the growth of every homestead. Life here moves in accordance with the turning of the seasons, a persistent cycle of planting and harvest that connects the residents to the earth beneath their feet, far removed from the frantic noise of the distant, more crowded centers of trade.

About This China Township Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of China Township, Michigan. Coordinates: 42.772536, -82.550652. Live weather conditions are sourced directly from the National Weather Service. Real-time local and world news feeds keep the page current.

Detailed location data for China Township includes the ZIP code (48054), telephone area code (313), county seat of St. Clair County (Port Huron), and school district assignment.

Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any US town, county or landmark by name; offers USGS topographic maps and USGS aerial imagery as base layers; overlays a labelled U.S. National Grid (USNG) so the map can be read like a printed topographic quad; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as a USNG grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require cell coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.

Location data is drawn from the USGS Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) and cross-verified against 2020 US Census records by coordinate proximity. Population figures are sourced from the 2020 US Census.
