1972 Map of Evans

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Glacial lakes and small rural settlements define this northern Kent County landscape as it appeared in the early 1970s. The area is characterized by a high density of water bodies, including the large Wabasis Lake and the interconnected waters of Myers Lake, Stoner Lake, and Tamarack Lake. The map reveals a transition in transportation, showing the Old Railroad Grade passing through the hamlets of Harvard and Evans, while the surrounding townships of Nelson, Spencer, Courtland, and Oakfield maintain their agrarian character. Genealogists will find significant value in the numerous documented burial sites such as East Nelson Cem, Oakfield Cem, and Courtland Cem, which often sit near local landmarks like the East Nelson Church or the United Methodist Church. This detailed survey captures a moment when traditional township centers and rural schools remained the primary anchors for the community.
