1962 Map of Midland South

About this map

Midland expanded significantly southward in the early 1960s, a growth period documented through these topographic surveys. The industrial character of the region is evident in the numerous Brine Wells and the large Brine Pond No 6 situated near the Tittabawassee River. This watercourse serves as a major geographical anchor, with its banks lined by a complex network of man-made drainage systems like the Lingle Drain and Bullock Creek. The southern landscape transitions into more rural townships such as Ingersoll, where smaller settlements like Poseyville and Mapleton are connected by a grid of country roads. Local infrastructure of the era is well-represented, from the Penn Central rail lines to community hubs such as the Ashman Sch and Pine Grove Cem.
