About this map

The county seat of Stanton serves as the focal point for this mid-Michigan landscape, which is defined by a blend of agricultural development and specialized industry. To the west, the Stanton Oil Field and scattered Gravel Pits indicate the region's extractive economy during the early 1960s. The Chesapeake and Ohio railroad corridor threads through the center of the sheet, connecting the larger settlement at Stanton to the village of McBrides to the north.

South of the city, the landscape transitions into the wooded and wetland-rich Stanton State Game Area Evergreen Unit, where local landmarks like Fish Creek and the West Branch Fish Creek drain a series of small water bodies including Colby Lake and Half Moon Lake. Rural life is marked by numerous country churches such as Day Bethel Ch and Frost Ch, alongside family-named landmarks like Farmer Cem and Hemmingway Lake.
