About this map

The Grand Trunk railroad serves as a central artery through this 1960s landscape, connecting the small lakeside settlements of Attica and Lum. The terrain is defined by a dense network of drainage channels such as Elk Lake Drain and Sickles Drain, supporting the agricultural and recreational life of eastern Lapeer County. Several rural schoolhouses, including Fish Lake Sch, Youngs Sch, and Buckingham Sch, reflect a community structure still rooted in local districts before modern consolidation.

Conservation and recreation are prominent in the northern reaches, where the Lapeer State Game Area surrounds Long Lake and Fish Lake. Local history is preserved in landmarks like Bearinger Ch and Beulah Ch, alongside the Arcadia Hills Golf Club. The numerous Gravel Pit operations scattered across the quadrangle point to the region's glacial geological legacy and the active resource extraction of the era.
