1968 Map of Hartland

About this map

North Ore Creek winds through this central Michigan landscape, connecting a network of glacial lakes including Shannon Lake, Brophy Lake, and Neff Lake. Small rural clusters like Deerfield Center and Parshallville serve as local anchors for the surrounding townships of Deerfield, Tyrone, Oceola, and Hartland. The map reveals a community defined by its quiet country roads and spiritual landmarks, such as Hardy Ch, St Augustine Ch, and St John Ch. Evidence of local industry appears in the numerous Gravel Pits and Sandpits scattered across the terrain, while the Deerfield Center Cem provides a point of interest for genealogists tracing local families. This mid-century survey also notes a Youth Camp and a major utility Pipeline cutting through the farmland, illustrating the balance between recreational land use and expanding infrastructure in Livingston County.
