1957 Map of Freesoil

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

The Manistee National Forest dominates this landscape, where the Little Manistee River and Big Sable River carve through a glaciated terrain of hills and numerous kettle lakes. Settlement is concentrated around the villages of Freesoil and Fountain, both situated along the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad corridor. The map reveals a transition in rural education, documenting several shuttered facilities such as Claybank Sch and Elm Flats Sch, suggesting a period of school consolidation in Mason and Manistee counties. Historical boundaries are prominently marked, including the Old Indian Boundary that cuts diagonally across the northern townships. High points like the Udell Hills are punctuated by the Udell Lookout Tower, while family-named locales like Tomaszewski and Star Corners reflect the area's agricultural and ethnic heritage.
