1970 Map of Dansville

About this map

The village of Dansville sits at the center of this rural Ingham County landscape, a hub of local section roads and small-scale agriculture during the late 1960s. The terrain is characterized by a network of drainage systems and wetland pockets, including Doan Creek and Deer Creek, alongside several glacial kettle lakes such as Hewes Lake and Ewers Lake. Notable local history is preserved in the distribution of family-named burial grounds like Fairview Cem, Spalding Cem, and Reeves Cem, reflecting the early settlement patterns of the surrounding townships. The presence of numerous Gravel Pits indicates the active extraction of glacial deposits, while the winding course of the Dexter Trail serves as a reminder of historical transit corridors through the region. Small hamlets like Pollok and infrastructure landmarks like the Radio Tower provide specific points of interest for those studying the mid-century development of these Michigan interior plains.
