About this map

White Oak and the namesake settlement of Millville anchor this agricultural region of Ingham County during the early 1970s. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the West Branch Red Cedar River and numerous tributaries such as Kalamink Creek, Dietz Creek, and Doan Creek. The map reveals a dispersed rural community organized around crossroads and country churches, including the North Stockbridge Community Ch and Mt Olive Ch.

Genealogists will find significant detail in the placement of family-named landmarks and local burial grounds like Mount Pleasant Cem and North Stockbridge Cem. The area maintains its rural character with a network of section-line roads such as Howell Road and Dansville Road, while the presence of a Pipeline and several Gravel Pits indicates the local infrastructure and industry of the era. The terrain transitions into the wetlands of Mud Lake and Burden Lake, reflecting the post-glacial topography typical of this part of southern Michigan.
