1983 Map of Buckley

About this map

Buckley sits at the southern edge of this landscape on the county line, a primary settlement in a region of transition between organized agriculture and the dense woodlands of the Pere Marquette State Forest. To the north, the small community of Hannah is identified by St Marys Cem, while Monroe Center anchors the northern townships. The area is defined by its small water bodies and glacial terrain, from the prominent Pierce Hill to the shores of Duck Lake and the small Lake Gitchagumee near the village. Traces of rural development are scattered throughout the sections, including the Red School and the Downs Cem. The map reflects a period of infrastructure development where local routes like Youker Road and Bartlett Road connect isolated farmsteads and small resource sites, such as a localized Mill and several gravel pits, showing the late 20th-century character of this Michigan interior.
