1963 Map of Columbiaville

About this map

Otter Lake and Columbiaville serve as the primary population centers in this rural landscape at the intersection of Lapeer, Genesee, and Tuscola counties. The area is defined by its extensive water systems, including the Holloway Reservoir along the Flint River and a dense network of agricultural drains like the Fostoria Drain and Kester Drain. Local transit and economy are tied to the New York Central Railroad, which bypasses the central lake district to connect the villages.
