1987 Map of Millerton

USGS Topo · Published 1988

About this map

The confluence of the Little Sable River and Big Sable River anchors this detailed survey of the Michigan interior during the late 1980s. Centered on the settlement of Millerton, the landscape is defined by the extensive holdings of the Manistee National Forest and a complex network of waterways including Ford Lake, Thunder Lake, and the expansive Round Lake. The map reveals the industrial and transport history of the region through several remnants of the timber era, most notably the numerous corridors marked as Old RR Grade and Old Railroad Grade that wind through the townships of Meade, Sheridan, and Sauble. These former rail lines, now largely reclaimed by the forest, once connected remote lumber camps to the regional milling centers. Geologic extraction is also represented by a Gravel Pit near the shoreline of Ford Lake, while recreational land use is signaled by several Public Access points and a Boat Ramp on the local lakes.
