1981 Map of Gobles East

About this map

Wolf Lake State Fish Hatchery and the Almena Ponds State Fish Hatchery anchor this landscape, reflecting Michigan's long-term investment in freshwater conservation. The terrain is defined by a dense network of small water bodies and wetlands, including Brandywine Lake, North Lake, and Wolf Lake. In the northern half of the sheet, the Old Railroad Grade passes through Kendall and Mentha, tracing the path of former industry across the Pine Grove area. Local transit is largely defined by a systematic grid of county roads like 44th Avenue and Almena Drive. Beyond the primary settlements of Gobles and Almena, the map identifies specialized aviation sites such as the Widner Landing Strip and the Secret Airdrome, alongside community landmarks like the West Oshtemo Ch and Pine Grove Cem.
