1973 Map of Lakefield

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

Lakefield and the surrounding township appear as a patchwork of agricultural fields and riparian corridors in the early 1970s. The landscape is defined by its complex drainage network, where the Bad River and its numerous tributaries, including Beaver Creek and Potato Creek, wind through the low-lying terrain. This era of Saginaw County history is captured just as conservation efforts were firmly established in the south, evidenced by the expansive Gratiot-Saginaw State Game Management Area. Local genealogy is well-represented by long-standing landmarks such as Sacred Heart Cem and Lakefield Cem, while small settlements like Galloway and Fordney anchor the rural road grid. The map also reveals the area's geological utility through scattered Gravel Pits and Sandpits, which supported the infrastructure of these mid-Michigan communities.
