1974 Map of Chesaning West

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

The Shiawassee River and Bad River drain this agricultural portion of the Saginaw Valley in the mid-1970s. The village of Oakley serves as a local hub near the southern border, while the larger settlement of Chesaning anchors the eastern edge, supported by the Chesaning Airport and the Conrail railroad line. The landscape is characterized by a dense grid of rural roads like Ferden Road and Marion Road, interspersed with numerous gravel pits and sandpits that point to the region's glacial geology and local industry. Genealogists will find several burial grounds documented, including Wildwood Cem and Oak Grove Cem. Small historical centers like Brady Center and the dual-named Parshallburg (Havana) provide specific points of interest for those tracing family roots or the evolution of small-town Michigan before modern sprawl altered the character of these rural townships.
