1971 Map of Metz

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

The Detroit and Mackinac railroad tracks cut a diagonal line through the center of this rural Presque Isle County landscape, connecting the small settlement of Metz to the surrounding agricultural and timber lands. The area is defined by a grid of named local highways and roads, such as West Mill Highway and Hagensville Road, reflecting a mid-century community structured around family farms and township centers. Several community anchors are documented, including the Townhall in Belknap, St Johns Ch near the banks of the Swan River, and the Mount Calvary Cemetery to the north. Resource extraction is evident through numerous Gravel Pits and a substantial Quarry near the northern boundary, while the winding paths of the Trout River and Quinn Creek suggest the natural drainage patterns that dictated early land use and property boundaries.
