About this map

New Lothrop serves as the primary hub in this late 1960s landscape, situated at the junction of several county roads where the terrain begins to slope toward the winding Misteguay Creek. The map documents a predominantly agricultural region straddling the Shiawassee and Genesee County line, characterized by a dense grid of rural roads and scattered farmsteads. Small residential clusters like Brent Creek and Juddville punctuate the landscape, reflecting the traditional settlement patterns of Hazelton and Flushing townships.

Local history and genealogy are well-represented by several dedicated sites, including Hazelton Cem and Cummings Cem. The drainage network is particularly detailed, showing the intricate relationship between agricultural land use and natural waterways such as Northwood Creek and Onion Creek. Evidence of mid-century infrastructure is visible in features like the Craig Landing Strip, providing a clear view of the area's transition between rural farming and local aviation.
