Plainfield-Sheridan Indian Trail, Stage & Mail Route: west of Old US 131

Emory V. Houk - 1974

The city of Rockford is located north of 10 Mile Road. The city of Grand Rapids is to the southwest. The dotted line that runs disgonally across the map from the lower left is an early Indian trail that merges with the stage coach trail. Streets, buildings, and other landmarks are noted on the map. The Rogue River flows south and meets the Grand River at Plainfield Village. The map was researched and drawn by Emory V. Houk on Nov. 11, 1974, and was traced by R. T. Klawieter.
