Most fault lines in Michigan run in a northwest to northeast pattern. There have been several fault lines identified in these Michigan counties:

* from southern cheboygan to northern Alpena * from Antrim through Otsego and into Montmorency * from southern Antrim through Otsego and into northern Crawford * Ogemaw * a long fault line from Kalkaska through Crawford, Roscommon, Ogemaw, & Arenac

* a small fault from Misaukee to Roscommon * from Gladwin to Bay * from Clare to Gladwin, Midland, Bay, & Tuscola * across Oceana and into Newaygo * from Osceola through Clare, Isabella, and Midland * from Sanilac to St. Clair * a fault across the borders of Saginaw, Genesee, and Lapeer * from Shiawassee through Livingston * from borders of Livingston down through Ingham, Washtenaw, & into Lenawee * a small fault in northeast Lenawee This is probably not a comprehensive list as Michigan sits on top of very thick bedrock and scientists find it difficult to map fault lines through this substructure.
