About this map

Barton City and Glennie anchor this late-1950s landscape, serving as primary nodes for a region defined by the Huron National Forest. The geography is characterized by an extensive network of small lakes and creeks, such as Jewell Lake, Curtis Lake, and the meandering West Branch Pine River. This era shows a community infrastructure supported by social and spiritual landmarks, including the Kingdom Hall, Lott Ch, and Glennie Cem.

Industry and defense leave distinct marks on the terrain, from the numerous Gravel Pits and Sandpits scattered throughout to the expansive Wurtsmith Air Force Range in the south. Evidence of earlier transportation or logging infrastructure is visible via the Railroad grade near Glennie, while elevated points like Chin Whisker Hill and the Hayes Lookout Tower provide strategic vantage points over the dense forest canopy.
