1969 Map of Coleman NE

About this map

Wiggins Lake and the winding course of the North Branch Tobacco River dominate this central Michigan landscape in the late 1960s. The map illustrates a rural area defined by its water bodies and section-line roads, with the Clare Co Gladwin Co line dividing the townships. Local community life is anchored at West Grout Ch and the Grout Cem, while a Lookout Tower sits near the junction of Buzzell Road and Mc Culloch Road. To the south, the terrain follows the Middle Branch Tobacco River toward Ross Lake, showing evidence of resource extraction through scattered Oil Wells and Gravel Pits. This survey captures the transition of the land from natural timber and water resources to a grid-based agricultural and industrial landscape.
