1976 Map of Wellston SW

About this map

Peacock stands as the primary settlement on this 1976 orthophotograph, situated within a landscape characterized by diverse vegetation patterns and clearings. The intricate path of the Little Manistee River winds through the northern portion of the quadrangle, its channel defined by the contrast of the riparian corridor against the surrounding terrain. This advance print provides a clear overhead view of the land use in Lake County during the mid-1970s, revealing the intersection of rural roads and the natural drainage patterns of the river basin. The imagery documents the extent of forest cover and open fields, offering a precise visual record of the region's geography before later decades of growth and reforestation altered these specific land boundaries.
