Atlas of Early Michigan's Forests, Grasslands, and Wetlands: An Interpretation of the 1816-1856 General Land Office Surveys

by Dennis A. Albert and Patrick J. Comer

This easy-to-use Atlas provides the historical notes and maps of Michigan created by surveyors from the federal General Land Office (GLO) between 1816 and 1856. In addition, present-day maps have been overlain on the historic maps so that readers can locate the original forest and grassland types within Michigan today. This book affords readers the opportunity to see how areas throughout the state appeared to surveyors more than 150 years ago...
