1983 Map of Lucas

About this map

Pere Marquette State Forest occupies the northwestern corner of this territory, where the borders of Wexford, Missaukee, and Osceola counties meet. The landscape is defined by a transition from the wooded state forest to the organized agricultural townships of Richland, Highland, and Sherman. The village of Lucas serves as a central hub, connected to the wider region by the Michigan Northern railroad line. Local social infrastructure is well-represented through the Lucas-McBain Sch, South Community Ch, and the rural Richland Cem. Water features such as Berry Lake and Slick Cr provide the primary drainage for these upland plateaus, while a network of rural routes like Finkle Road and Geers Rd link the surrounding farmsteads and the community of Falmouth.
