About this map

Coldwater Lake and the Lake Isabella reservoir anchor this central Michigan landscape during a period of mid-century residential and recreational development. The village of Weidman serves as a local hub at the junction of the Coldwater River and Walker Creek, featuring Mitchell Park and the nearby Weidman Ch. To the southeast, the smaller community of Beal City is centered around a High Sch and St Joseph Cem.

The map reveals an economy transitioning between traditional agriculture and modern infrastructure, evidenced by numerous Sandpits and Oil Wells scattered across the townships of Nottawa and Coldwater. Aviation is represented by both Olibwa Airpark and Lake Isabella Airport, while genealogists can find several family and church burial grounds including Fairview Cem, Redman Cem, and Bennett Cem. The Chippewa River flows through the southern portion of the quadrangle, marking the landscape alongside Base Line Road.
