1969 Map of Goodrich

About this map

Kearsley Creek and Thread Creek define the landscape of southeastern Genesee County in this late 1960s survey. The map documents the distinct identities of Grand Blanc, Goodrich, and Atlas before significant suburban expansion. The era's local economy is visible through numerous Gravel Pits, while the Grand Trunk Western Railroad bisects the western half of the sheet. Genealogical researchers will find value in the specific locations of rural burying grounds such as Horton Cem and Pine Grove Cem, as well as neighborhood institutions like the Wheelock Memorial Hospital and various district schools including Wolcott Sch and Metzger Sch. The geography is further marked by legacy waterworks like the Atlas Millpond and Goodrich Millpond, which represent the early milling history of these settlements along the creek banks.
