1983 Map of Hatton

About this map

The Middle Branch Tobacco River winds through the heart of this central Michigan landscape, where the settlements of Hatton and Brown Corners serve as local anchors. The map reveals a transition from the dense woodlands of the Au Sable State Forest in the northeast to the low-lying terrain of the Bear Swamp and the waters of Loon Lake. The era is defined by the development of local education and recreation, highlighted by the campus of Mid-Michigan Community College and the nearby Clare-Gladwin Sch. Recreational pursuits are prominent in the local economy, evidenced by the Snow Snake Mtn Ski Area, Major Mtn Ski Club, and Camp Rotary. Genealogists will find the Township Cem and Andersen Chapel particularly useful for tracing family ties in this part of Clare County.
