1985 Map of Woodville

About this map

The Manistee National Forest dominates this mid-1980s landscape, where the small settlement of Woodville serves as a central point in a region defined by its timber and water resources. The terrain is crisscrossed by several waterways, most notably the Little South Branch Pere Marquette River and the South White River, which drain through the Oxford Swamp. This environment supported various industries, evidenced by the presence of a Gas Field, Oil Tanks, and a Gravel Pit scattered across the township boundaries of Monroe and Norwich.
