1984 Map of Midland

About this map

The Tittabawassee River and its major tributaries, including the Tobacco River and Chippewa River, anchor this 1980s landscape at the confluence of agricultural and forested lands. The urban centers of Midland and Mount Pleasant show significant development, while the northern reaches transition into the sprawling Au Sable State Forest. Water management is a defining characteristic of the region, evidenced by the large reservoirs of Wixom Lake and Sanford Lake that regulate the river system.
