1971 Map of Michigan West

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

Michigan (Michigan City) and the smaller settlement of Mapes serve as the primary hubs in this prairie landscape, situated along the critical Burlington Northern railroad corridor. The area is defined by its numerous glacial depressions and wetlands, many of which are protected within the National Waterfowl Production Area. These water bodies, including McHugh Slough, Lake Loretta, Lake Mary, and Rose Lake, create a complex mosaic of land and water that dictated the original township boundaries of Enterprise, Sarnia, Rubin, Michigan City, and Williams. A distinctive 1983 revision layer, shown in purple, updates the transportation network and local infrastructure, such as various Gravel Pits, reflecting the continued utility of the land’s natural resources decades after the initial 1970 survey.
