1950 Map of Fletcher

About this map

The Manistee River winds through the northern portion of this landscape, marking a terrain defined by both conservation and military use. Much of the northern half is occupied by the Camp Grayling Military Reservation, where numerous named summits such as Esler Hill, Smith Hill, and Waldo Hill provide high vantage points. The reservation boundary cuts through the Higgins Lake State Forest, illustrating the dual-purpose management of this woodland area during the mid-century.
