1967 Map of Standish

About this map

The city of Standish stands as a central hub in this mid-century survey, situated at the junction of major roads and the Penn Central railroad lines. The landscape to the east slopes toward Saginaw Bay, where the shoreline is punctuated by Whites Beach and the Great Lakes Marina. Between the city and the bay, the land is defined by the branching network of the Pine River and Saganing River, which meander through a series of local sandpits that reflect the era's light industrial activity. Notable for genealogists are the multiple community burial grounds, including St Johns Cem, Woodmere Cem, and Pine River Cem. Cultural markers of the 1960s and 70s are visible in the landscape, such as the Drive-in Theater south of town and the Standish City Airport.
