1965 Map of Perrinton

About this map

The Pine River meanders southward through the central townships of Gratiot County, anchoring the settlements of Middleton and Perrinton during the mid-1960s. This agricultural landscape is defined by a dense network of section-line roads and numerous drainage systems like Newark Drain and Shade Drain, reflecting the intensive land management required for mid-century Michigan farming. The southern reaches of the survey are dominated by the broadening of the river into Rainbow Lake and the marshy expanses of the Maple River State Game Area.
