[2][3] The main branch of Stony Creek runs about one mile (1.6 km) north of the center of the community.

The community of Scofield is served by Monroe Public Schools at the northern edge of the district's boundaries.

The line was constructed by the Chicago and Canada Southern Railway, and Scofield contained a station along its route.

The line is currently operated by Canadian National Railway but no longer contains a station at this point along its route.

It no longer serves its original purpose, and the structure was dedicated as a Michigan State Historic Site on September 3, 1998.
