1964 Map of Sherman City

About this map

The Chippewa River and Coldwater River converge in this central Michigan landscape, defining a region where rural crossroads and small water bodies shape the settlement pattern. At the intersection of the Mecosta and Isabella county line, Sherman City serves as a local focal point alongside several smaller hamlets such as Horr, Titus, and Drew. The map documents a classic Midwestern agricultural and recreation landscape, dotted with numerous lakes including the cluster known as Six Lakes, which includes Strong Lake, Market Lake, and Long Lake. Genealogists will find notable value in the location of the Strong Cemetery and Sherman City Cemetery, as well as the Forest Hill Church along the Weidman Forest Hill Ch Road. Resource extraction and light aviation are evident through scattered gravel pits, an Oil Well, and the Ojibwa Airpark.
