About this map

The village of Fowlerville serves as the focal point of this central Michigan landscape, where the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad corridor parallels the Red Cedar River. During the early 1970s, this area maintained its rural character across the townships of Conway, Cohoctah, Handy, and Howell. The map reveals a dense network of family-named roads and rural cemeteries, such as Greenwood Cem and Mt Olivet Cem, which provide significant value for genealogical research.

To the north and east, the terrain is dotted with small kettle lakes like Chase Lake, Lake Cohoctah, and Sabine Lake. The presence of the Maple Grove Airport and the Nazarene Campground indicates the community's mid-century expansion beyond traditional agriculture. The transition from established village blocks to the outlying Fleming settlement demonstrates the slow shift in local settlement patterns as regional infrastructure evolved.
