1969 Map of Edenville

About this map

The Tittabawassee River and the Tobacco River converge in this mid-Michigan landscape, creating a complex water system dominated by the impoundments of Wixom Lake and Sanford Lake. The village of Edenville sits at this critical hydraulic junction, where a Powerplant and dam system control the flow south of the county line. The map illustrates a rural economy balanced between agriculture and resource extraction, evidenced by scattered Gravel Pits and the sprawling Tittabawassee River State Forest that covers much of the southern half of the quadrangle.
