1967 Map of Hubbardston

About this map

Hubbardston sits at the confluence of Fish Creek and the Maple River, serving as a focal point for this rural landscape where Ionia, Clinton, Gratiot, and Montcalm counties meet. The mid-1960s terrain is defined by a complex drainage network, including the Sessions and Connors Drain and Ruel Drain, supporting the agricultural character of the North Plains and Bloomer regions. To the south, the village of Pewamo is anchored by the Grand Trunk railroad line and the Pewamo Cem. This survey illustrates the transition from cultivated fields to the protected wetlands of the Maple River State Game Area, which encompasses the distinctive topographic rise known as The Island. Local history is preserved through several rural burial grounds like East Plains Cem and the Most Holy Trinity Cem, alongside numerous gravel pits that reflect the area's geological and industrial utility during the late 1960s.
