1968 Map of Davisburg

About this map

Holly State Recreation Area dominates the central landscape of this 1960s survey, illustrating a region defined by its glacial kettle lakes and evolving recreational infrastructure. The village of Holly serves as a western anchor, positioned near Lakeside Cem and the intersection of the Chesapeake and Ohio and Grand Trunk Western railroads. To the southeast, the unincorporated community of Davisburg sits along the rail line, featuring its own Davisburg Park and Davisburg Cem. The map provides a detailed view of the transition from agricultural land to public use, with numerous camps and parks such as Camp Tamarack and Camp Hetty punctuating the lake-strewn terrain. Significant elevation changes are noted at Mount Holly, while smaller settlements like Groveland Mills and Groveland Corners hint at the area's earlier milling and crossroads history.
