The flag of the City of West Branch, Michigan, a white flag charged with a city emblem:

The emblem can be seen in black and white at the bottom of the city website, www.westbranch.com. It is an unusually shaped shield, with a person's head in chief separated from the rest by a bar bearing the name "WEST BRANCH", and the rest divided vaguely per bend, with the charges seeming to be a tree stump (brown on green) and a shining bible and cross (cross red, rays yellow, field white).

This flag can be seen on photos from conferences of the Michigan Municipal
League.

The
flag holds a city seal, of which I found only a small image on a LinkedIn
account:

The seal includes a drawing
of Chief Ogemaw, for whom the county is named.

The
flag is still being used, as shown on this Mayor and City council page:
