The region includes many rivers including the Grand River, Red Cedar River, Saginaw River, Tittabawassee River, Shiawassee River and Flint River.
A drainage divide occurs in Central Michigan, causing the Grand River to flow west into Lake Michigan and the Saginaw River to empty into the Saginaw Bay.
The terrain has rolling hills and plains with fertile soil.
Agriculture dominates in the rural areas, where corn, soybeans, sugar beets, and hay are grown.
The region has mostly small towns with a few cities of notable size.
Most of the area is part of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Lansing or Roman Catholic Diocese of Saginaw.
