1974 Map of Chapin

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

The Gratiot-Saginaw State Game Management Area occupies the northern reaches of this mid-1970s survey, marking a distinct transition from managed wildlife territory to the structured grid of Michigan's agricultural heartland. Small crossroads settlements such as Marion Springs and Chapin serve as local anchors, connected by a network of section-line roads like Meridian Road and Marion Road. The landscape is defined by its drainages, where the South Fork Bad River and Potato Creek wind through fields dotted with numerous Sandpit and Gravel Pit operations, reflecting the local importance of aggregate mining. Genealogical interest is concentrated in several local burying grounds, including St Johns Cem, St Theresa Cem, and the Township Cem, alongside old landmarks like Johns Sch and the community at Racy.
