1961 Map of Roseburg

About this map

Roseburg and the rural townships of Buel, Fremont, and Worth define this agricultural landscape in Sanilac County. Surveyed at the start of the 1960s, the area is characterized by an extensive system of drainage infrastructure, such as the William Doan Drain and Hunt Drain, which supported the conversion of the local terrain into productive farmland. The map reveals a high density of small rural schools like Mitchell Sch and Thorley Sch along with local landmarks like the Townhall, reflecting a period when small community centers still anchored the countryside. In the southeast, the terrain shifts near the Port Huron State Game Area as the Black River snakes through the border of Grant township, where several Gravel Pits indicate active local mineral extraction along the riverbanks.
