About this map

The Wolf River winds through a landscape defined by extensive conservation lands and scattered rural settlements in this 1969 survey. The area is dominated by the Navarino State Wildlife Area and Deer Creek State Wildlife Area, reflecting a mid-century emphasis on habitat preservation along these major waterways. Small communities like Leeman and Liberty serve as anchors for the local farming population, while a dense network of family-named roads such as Taubel Road and Peeters Road crisscrosses the lowlands.

Local genealogy and social history are preserved through the locations of the St Lawrence Cem, South Maine Ch, and the Navarino Sch. An unusual landmark, a Ski Jump, appears near the northern boundary, suggesting recreational use of the terrain alongside the more traditional sandpits found near the river. The map also captures the local governance of the era with the Townhall located centrally in the township of Maine.
