1963 Map of Gilford

About this map

Agricultural fields and a network of drainage ditches like Haines Drain and Northwest Drain dominate this Tuscola County landscape, reflecting the intensive drainage efforts required for farming the Saginaw Bay lowlands. Small crossroads settlements and historic school sites serve as local focal points, including Hobart Sch near Gilford and Tappan Sch further south. The southern reaches of the quadrangle transition into the more varied terrain of the Vassar State Game Area, where the Cass River winds past Odessa Lakes. Transport patterns are defined by the Chesapeake and Ohio and Penn Central rail lines, which historically linked these farming communities to regional markets. Evidence of local industry is visible through numerous Gravel Pits and Sandpits scattered throughout Juniata and Tuscola townships.
