About this map

The Tri-City Airport dominates the central landscape of this 1962 survey, serving as a modern aviation hub at the junction of Tittabawassee, Frankenlust, and Kochville townships. The map documents a rural transition where agricultural drains like McArthur Drain and Pine Drain neighbor growing infrastructure. Industrial history is visible in the coal Mine Dumps found along the New York Central Railroad near Auburn.

Genealogical researchers can find several local burial grounds, including the Township Cem, St Anthony Cem, and Daheim-Kirchof Cem. In the southern portion of the sheet, the village of Freeland sits along the banks of the Tittabawassee River, supported by the Chesapeake and Ohio rail line and Community High Sch. This era captures the region's mid-century character, balancing small-town centers with an expanding network of county roads like Midland Road and Cass Road.
