1964 Map of Mecosta NW

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

The Martiny Lake State Wildlife Area dominates this mid-1960s landscape, illustrating a complex network of glacial lakes and wetlands managed for conservation. At the heart of this system is the Winchester Dam, which regulates the water levels of Tubbs Lake, Lost Lake, and the expansive Martiny Lake. This area was photogrammetrically mapped in 1963, showing the intricate shoreline of Big Evans Lake and Upper Evans Lake before modern lakeside development intensified. To the northeast, the village of Barryton sits along the Chippewa River, while rural infrastructure like the Johnson Landing Field and various Gravel Pits suggest the local economic activity of the era. Genealogists will find value in the clearly marked Flake Cem, Dye Cem, and Sheridan Ch, which anchor the small farming communities in Sheridan and Chippewa townships.
