About this map

Carleton serves as the central hub of this agricultural landscape in the late 1960s, situated at the junction of the Chesapeake and Ohio and Detroit and Toledo railroads. This survey reveals a dense network of water management features, including the Zink and Nolan Murphy Drain and Beaverdam Drain, which support the low-lying farmlands of Ash and Frenchtown.

Local history is preserved through numerous rural school sites such as the Red Sch, Long Bridge Sch, and Herkimer Sch, indicating the historical distribution of educational centers before further consolidation. Small settlements like Waltz and Scofield appear alongside family-associated landmarks such as Felt Cem and Woodmere Cem. The map also documents the industrial edge of the region with a Quarry near the Monroe County line and the development of the Willow Metro Park in the northeast corner.
