1973 Map of Floyd

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

The Chippewa River and Pine River carve through this landscape of the mid-1970s, defining a region where industrial activity meets protected woodlands. In the northwest, an expansive Oil Field and numerous Brine Wells indicate the heavy subsurface extraction prevalent in Midland County, while the central portions are dominated by the Tittabawassee State Forest. Small settlements like Floyd and St Elmo appear along a grid of section roads, many named for local families or distance, such as 8 Mile Road and 10 Mile Road. Local spiritual and community life is anchored by the Midland Missionary Church and the Midland Church, with a centrally located Township Cemetery serving the rural population. The presence of several Gravel Pits and a Sandpit near Sucker Creek further highlights the utilitarian relationship between the local economy and the river valley's natural resources.
