1970 Map of Bad Axe West

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Bad Axe serves as the focal point for this 1970s-era topographic study of the Michigan Thumb, where the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad slices diagonally across a landscape dominated by agricultural drainage and section-line roads. The map documents a transition in local infrastructure, featuring the County Memorial Hosp and County Fairground on the edge of the city. To the west, the Pinnebog River and Bad Axe Creek meander through the townships of Colfax and Meade, providing the natural relief in a largely flat, productive terrain. Rural life is well-preserved through the inclusion of the Grassmere Station and several neighborhood educational sites like McKenzie Sch and Becking Sch. The presence of the Drive-in Theater and multiple Radio Towers near the town center reflects the mid-century cultural and technological landscape of Huron County.
