1976 Map of Howard City NE

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

Lakeview stands as the primary center of activity in this 1976 orthophoto, where the town's grid and development cluster around the eastern shore of Tamarack Lake. This aerial survey provides a rare visual record of the landscape as captured by the Michigan Department of Natural Resources and the USGS, showing the distinct transition between the concentrated village and the surrounding agricultural parcels. The drainage of Tamarack Creek winds through the central portion of the map, carving a path through a patchwork of woodlots and farm fields. Unlike traditional topographic maps, this orthophotograph offers researchers a literal view of the mid-1970s vegetation patterns and land use, revealing the exact footprint of farmsteads and the density of the lakeshore settlement.
