About this map

Agricultural fields and scattered woodlots define the landscape of this rural Michigan borderland in the late 1970s. The settlement of Woodbury sits at the intersection of the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad and the county line, while West Sebewa serves as a central hub for the township's farming community. The terrain is marked by numerous glacial depressions, forming small bodies of water like Augst Lake, Little Lake, and Mini Lake, along with the larger Tupper Lake to the southwest.

Genealogists will find several landmarks of local history, including the Alderman Cem in the north and the Meyers Cem near the southern boundary. Education and spiritual life are anchored by the Lakewood High Sch and several country churches such as Sebewa Ch and the Church of God. The map also documents the local infrastructure of the era, from the Stony Acres Landing Strip to the network of section-line roads like Eaton Highway and Musgrove Highway.
