1969 Map of Meredith NW

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

The vast wooded borderlands of the Houghton Lake State Forest and Chippewa River State Forest define this 1969 topographic study. This area on the boundary of Roscommon and Clare counties is characterized by a dense network of glacial lakes and wetlands, including Boyce Lake, Pup Lake, and the remote Lost Lakes. The landscape is etched with the remnants of industrial exploitation, most notably the Old Railroad Grade and the Meredith Grade, which signal the region's logging heritage. Further evidence of resource extraction is found in the Headquarters Oil and Gas Field Road and scattered Gravel Pits, illustrating the shift from timber to mineral and petroleum interests. Small water bodies like Elbow Lake and Trout Lake are connected by numerous watercourses such as Wolf Creek and Townline Creek, creating a complex hydrological pattern across the forested terrain.
