1974 Map of Ovid East

About this map

The agricultural landscapes of the Fairfield and Middlebury townships are defined by a strictly organized grid of rural roads and drainage infrastructure in the mid-1970s. This survey centers on the Grand Trunk Western railroad corridor, which links small clusters like Carland and Burton to the larger village of Ovid in the southwest corner. The prevalence of features such as David Drain and Wait Drain reflects the engineering efforts required to manage the flat terrain for productive farming.
