Shiawassee County is bordered to the east by Genesee County (Flint, Burton, Grand Blanc, Flushing, Mt. Morris, etc.), to the north by Saginaw County (Saginaw, Chesaning, etc.) and to the west by Clinton County (St. Johns, DeWitt, etc.) and a tiny piece of Gratiot County (Ithaca, Alma, etc.), and to the south by Ingham County (Lansing, East Lansing, Mason, Okemos, etc.) and Livingston County (Howell, Brighton, etc.).
