About this map

Agricultural life in Shiawassee County defines this mid-1970s landscape, where the town of Easton and the surrounding townships of New Haven, Hazelton, Caledonia, and Venice form a patchwork of family farms and rural homesteads. The terrain is marked by an extensive network of drainage systems, including Coon Drain and Sax on Drain, which support the low-lying fields. Small crossroads communities and service points appear throughout the quadrangle, notably at Jenkinson and Northwest Venice.

Cultural landmarks like the Christian Assembly Hall and the Wilkinson Cem provide points of interest for genealogists and local historians. The map also documents the industrial presence of numerous Sandpits and Gravel Pits, indicating the local extraction economy alongside established roads such as North Ridge Road and Juddville Road. Local education is anchored by the Eveleth Sch in the southwestern corner, serving the rural population at this specific moment in Michigan's development.
