1960 Map of Fayette

About this map

Fayette serves as the central hub of this borderland survey, situated where the Michigan Ohio state line meets the convergence of Gorham and Franklin townships. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Bean Creek and its many tributaries, including Toad Creek and Iron Creek, which drain a region of productive agricultural fields and scattered woodlots. This 1960s-era topography reveals a rural economy still tied to the Norfolk and Western rail corridor and localized industry like the Gravel Pit near Munson.
