About this map

Bunker Hill and Henrietta townships straddle the county line in this early 1970s landscape, where rural settlement patterns are clearly defined by a grid of family-named roads. The village of Munith sits at a rail junction in the southeast, anchored by the Grand Trunk Western railroad line. To the west, the community at Pleasant Lake is characterized by its lakeside development and local institutions like the Pleasant Lake Church and the nearby Henrietta School.

The presence of numerous small cemeteries, such as Felt Plains Cemetery and Fitchburg Cemetery, provides significant data for genealogical research. The northern portion of the map is marked by the winding path of Cahoogan Creek and the notable Stockbridge Ridge, while the hamlet of Fitchburg remains a central landmark alongside the Fitchburg Wilderness Park. The map also identifies specific religious sites including the St Cornelius and Cyprian Church, reflecting the community's established social fabric.
