1898 Map of Huron

Smaller outposts such as Alpena, Virgil, and Broadland appear along the rail corridors, illustrating the systematic settlement patterns of the late nineteenth century. The map also documents vital water sources beyond the main river, including Shue Creek, Cain Creek, and Redstone Creek, which were essential for the agrarian townships of Dearborn and Hartland. Local history researchers will find the precise boundary lines between Beadle and Sanborn counties clearly delineated among the gridded sections.
