1969 Map of Skeels

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Tittabawassee River State Forest and Skeels State Forest define the wooded character of this northern Michigan landscape at the end of the 1960s. The terrain is defined by a glacial topography of small lakes and marshes, including McGilvery Lake, Pratt Lake, and the uniquely named Greasy Jim Lake. Local settlement is concentrated in small communities like Skeels and Oberlin, while the presence of Meredith in the northwest corner and Podunk in the center suggests the area's rural social fabric. The Cedar River and Little Sugar River wind through the township sections, supporting local drainage and recreation. Notable infrastructure includes the Chappel Dam and several scattered gravel pits, pointing to the local industry and water management of the era. Road networks like Wagarville Road and Stockwell Road provide the primary connections through this forested region of Gladwin County.
