| Mines: Locating old mine-sites can be a problem, but some early botanists did collect at such locations. (Some mining operations imported physicians from New England, and some of these—as was common in that day—collected plants. James Watson Robbins is perhaps the most prolific of the physicians who collected in the “Copper Country” [see Voss 1978, p. 77].) Many old mine locations are indicated to this day on county maps, sometimes as names of associated settlements (or ghost towns). The locations of some early copper mines listed here are taken from a “Tabular Statement of the Mines in the Lake Superior Land District” (in Foster & Whitney 1850, pp. 146–151); not all sites were verified. | ||

|
Alcona County |
Alger’s Camp |
a “short distance west from Mud Lake” (q.v.) [= Barton City] (CFW et al. in 1888; cf. Voss & Crow 1976, p. 30). |
|
Alcona County |
Mud Lake |
renamed Barton City in 1912 (CFW et al. in 1888; cf. Voss & Crow 1976, p. 29). |
|
Alcona County |
Potts’ Farm |
N½ NW¼ sec. 2 and NE¼ NE¼ sec. 3, T26N, R5E (CFW et al. in 1888; cf. Voss & Crow 1976, p.27). |
|
Alger or Keweenaw County |
Grand Marais |
harbor (so known since 1660) and village in Alger Co.; a less well-known harbor E of Eagle Harbor, Keweenaw Co.). [There is also a third Grand Marais on Lake Superior, in Cook Co., northeasternmost Minnesota.] |
|
Alger County |
Laughing [White] Fish River |
(Gillman in 1867; similarly, Laughing Fish Pt.). |
|
Alger County |
Peter White’s Camp |
800 acres on Whitefish Lake, ca. 4 miles S of Deerton. CKD collected here in 1916; cf. R. D.Williams, 1905, The Honorable Peter White, pp. 201 and 203). [The property is now included in the 1700-acre Laughing Whitefish Lake Preserve of The Nature Conservancy, presented in 1993 by relatives of Peter White (an early founder of Marquette) and of George Shiras III (White’s son-in-law) (cf. Mich. Conservancy News, Spring 1993.] |
|
Alger County |
Shelter Bay |
west of Au Train Bay (Lewis Foote in 1867). |
|
Alger County |
Traine Island |
Au Train I. (Gillman in 1867; similarly, “Traine Bay”—both on Lake Superior west of Munising and Grand Island). |
|
Alger County |
Upper Peninsula Experiment Station (Chatham) |
SE¼ sec. 28, T46N, R21W. |
|
Allegan County |
Glenn Pier |
W of Glenn, NW¼ sec. 31, Ganges Tp.(C. H. Kauffman in 1910 and associated by him with South Haven; cf. Mich. Manual maps). |
|
Allegan/Barry County |
Gun Lake |
less than 3% of the area of this lake is in Allegan Co.; the rest is in Barry Co., including the large peninsula in the lake, where some collections have specifically been made. However, the Post Office of the same name (closed in 1905) is listed as in Allegan Co., presumably because the mail came via Shelbyville in that county. “Gun Lake” collections almost certainly are from Barry Co.—where also Yankee Springs State Park now has frontage on the lake. |
|
Allegan/Ottawa County |
Holland |
32nd St. is the county line: higher numbers are in Allegan Co., lower numbers in Ottawa Co. |
|
Allegan County |
Pier Cove |
lumber port in sec. 5, T2N, R16W (cf. 1901 soils map; mail was supplied through the Ganges P.O. a mile to the SE). |
|
Allegan County |
Shelbyville |
(OAF in 1920 and 1923; his notes and original labels say Kalamazoo Co.—presumably a carry-over from Galesburg, where he was immediately before—but his 1943 manuscript says Allegan Co.) |
|
Alpena County |
Whitefish Point |
Besides the well known site on Lake Superior (Chippewa Co.), note that there is another Whitefish Point on the W side of Prentiss Bay in Mackinac Co., just E of Les Cheneaux (Ehlers & Erlanson in 1924; Voss in 1983). There is also a Whitefish Point across Thunder Bay, E of Alpena, on Whitefish Bay (Alpena Co.). |
|
Alpena County |
Rockport |
sec. 6, T32N, R9E (cf. letter in Mich. History 65(5): 4, Sept.–Oct. 1981). |
|
Antrim/Grand Traverse County |
Traverse Bay |
Mary Clark was here in 1869 at Elk Rapids [Antrim Co.] on Grand Traverse Bay (cf. her label for Utricularia cornuta); she was also at Traverse City [Grand Traverse Co.] in 1869. CFW collected at the Bay in 1898, often with reference to Traverse City or the Peninsula in the Bay, so presumably his specimens are to be referred to Grand Traverse Co. and not to Leelanau or Antrim counties, which also border the Bay. [There is also a Grand (or “Big”) Traverse Bay on the Keweenaw/Houghton Co. line. Cf. also Little Traverse Bay, above.] |
|
|
|
|
|
Barry/Allegan County |
Gun Lake |
less than 3% of the area of this lake is in Allegan Co.; the rest is in Barry Co., including the large peninsula in the lake, where some collections have specifically been made. However, the Post Office of the same name (closed in 1905) is listed as in Allegan Co., presumably because the mail came via Shelbyville in that county. “Gun Lake” collections almost certainly are from Barry Co.—where also Yankee Springs State Park now has frontage on the lake. |
|
Bay County |
Henry’s Woods |
in Bay City (fide annotation in unknown hand on 1894 G. M. Bradford specimen of Uvularia grandiflora at MSC). |
|
Bay County |
Oak Grove |
presumably sec. 8, T14N, R6E (G. M. Bradford in 1893 and 1901). |
|
Bay/Tuscola County |
Quanicassee |
R. R. Dreisbach collected here (as “Quanticasse”) May 22, 1927, and Sept. 6, 1931. He labeled all his specimens as from Bay Co.; however, in his field notes he corrected nos. 5491–5499 and 7598–7602 to Tuscola Co. He left 5500–5504 and 7603–7605 as Bay Co. This distinction is also borne out by his exchange records. So it seems clear that he became aware of the proximity of the county line to this Tuscola Co. community. (Nos. 6192–6208, Aug. 26, 1928, are all unchanged as recorded, for Tuscola Co.) |
|
Benzie County |
Central House |
in Inland Tp. (CFW et al. in 1888; cf. Voss & Crow 1976, p. 64, note 89). |
|
Berrien County |

just SW of Warren Dunes (CKD collected here in 1917). |
|
Berrien County |

|
Berrien County |
Pottawatomie Lake |
in New Buffalo. |
|
Berrien County |
Pottawatomie Park |
sec. 21, Hagar Tp. (CKD in 1917). |
|
Berrien County |
St. Joseph |
Caution! Note that this city in Berrien Co. is 35 and more miles from St. Joseph Co.—but some 1837 First Survey labels confuse the issue by omitting “Co.” (cf. McVaugh 1970, p. 243). |
|
Branch County |
Mason |
an old name (also Masonville) for Coldwater (First Survey; cf. McVaugh 1970, pp. 242–243). [Do not confuse with city of Mason, county seat of Ingham Co.—nor with Mason Co. or any of the three or more other Masons in Michigan, all presumably named for the state’s first governor, Stevens T. Mason.] |

Established in 1926 as the Battle Creek College Biological Preserve; when that college closed, Albion College obtained the tract and dedicated it as the Ott Preserve; sold in 1977 by Albion to Calhoun County to be administered through the Parks Commission (Crispin 1980; pers. comm., W. J. Gilbert). |
|
Calhoun County |
Whitehouse Nature Center |
125 acres on E Branch of the Kalamazoo River, ca. one quarter mile SE of the main campus of Albion College, which owns and administers it. |
|
Cass County |
Cable Lake |
sec. 5, T5S, R16W [for no apparent reason the name has been dropped on some recent county maps]. |
|
Cass County |
Christianna Lake |
(J. A. Nieuwland in 1924 etc.). |
|
Cass County |
Edwards Prairie |
near Edwardsburgh (First Survey, Aug. 1838; cf. McVaugh 1970, p. 242). |
|
Cass County |
Hemlock Island |
in Magician Lake (cf. H. S. Pepoon’s labels). |
|
Cass/Van Buren County |
Magician Beach |
Most H. S. Pepoon labels cite Van Buren Co., but a map in his unpublished flora of Magician Lake clearly shows Magician Beach in both counties. |
|

in sec. 2, T36N, R3W (UMBS). |
|
Cheboygan/Emmet County |
Mackinaw City |
Although usually listed as being in Cheboygan Co. (where the Post Office and most of the business district are), by far the greater part of the area of the village has long been in Emmet Co. (the south end of the Mackinac Bridge now marking the division point). [Note that this name has never applied to Mackinac Island (Mackinac Co.), although vague terms like “Mackinaw” and “Michilimackinac” often referred in times past to the whole general area.] |
|
Cheboygan County |
Malony (Malone) Lake |
sec. 11, T38N, R3W. |
|
Cheboygan County |
Marl Bay |
northwest bay of Douglas Lake (UMBS). |
|
Cheboygan County |
Mud Lake |
the most often cited (UMBS) Mud Lake in Cheboygan Co. is mostly in sec. 7, T37N, R2W (Inverness Tp.); much of the bog is now in the Wendy O’Neil Preserve of the Little Traverse Conservancy. Some other of the county’s Mud Lakes have been “renamed” by UMBS people (cf. Blanchard Lake above). |
|
Cheboygan County |
Nelson Lake |
on line between secs. 15 and 22, T38N, R3W; a county road bisects the [drying or intermittent] lake, which shows on older county maps as Nolten Lake, as does a different lake (UMBS). |
|
Cheboygan County |
Nichols’ Bog |
a farm pond in sec. 2, T36N, R3W (UMBS). |
|
Cheboygan County |
Nigger Creek |
now renamed as the less offensive “Mullett Creek,” flowing into Mullett Lake ca. 2 miles NE of Topinabee (UMBS). |
|
Cheboygan County |
Nolten Lake |
on older maps = Nelson Lake (see above); both older and later maps (incl. USGS Mullett Lake quad) show a lake of this name in sec. 18, T38N R3W and this is also known as Nolten Fen (UMBS). |
|
Cheboygan County |

|
Cheboygan County |
Tower |
village (est. 1899) and dam site on the Upper Black River in T34N, R1E. [A town in St. Louis Co., Minnesota, bears the same name and is the site for an 1889 EJH collection of Caltha natans, which has sometimes been erroneously (and anachronistically) attributed to Michigan because of misreading a handwritten label.] |
|
Cheboygan County |
Trowbridge |
(CFW July 13, 1890; cf. his label for Carex bebbii). [N.B.: on July 12 CFW collected near Bay View in Emmet Co.; but on July 11 he collected in Ingham Co.—where there was another Trowbridge at the junction of the Pere Marquette and Grand Trunk railroads south of East Lansing (cf. Foster 1942, p. 513).] |
|
Cheboygan County |

S of Livingston Bog in sec. 35, T37N, R3W (UMBS, cf. map in Nelson 1956). |
|
Cheboygan County |
Wolff’s Bog |
secs. 14 and 15, T37N R3W (UMBS). |
|
Chippewa County |
Coalpit Hill |
Sault Ste. Marie [Zina Pitcher collected Adenocaulon bicolor here June 24, 1826, but his label [MICH] does not indicate whether it was from the U.S. or the Canadian side. R. D. Williams in 1905, The Honorable Peter White, p. 95 in chapter on “Sault Ste. Marie before the Canal,” describing an 1847 incident, implied the U.S. side and referred to “outside of the Sault on Coalpit hill” where a traveler from Mackinaw to the Sault waited en route to James Schoolcraft’s store in the fort. Bernard Arbic (pers. comm., 1995) notes that a letter from John Johnston in 1879 refers to a homestead “about three miles from the Sault & a mile and a quarter from the river on Coal Pit Hill, commanding the view of both channels ..”; Dr. Arbic also notes that some old property deeds suggest that the site was south of the present campus of Lake Superior State University, on the east side of the Michigan Meridian.] |
|
Chippewa County |
Cordell |
1 mile W of Spur 459 (q.v.). |
|
Chippewa County |
Sailors Encampment |
near the S end of Neebish Island, in the St. Mary’s River (not the entire island as indicated by Romig). (E. T. & S. A. Harper collected here in 1897 and 1898.) |
|
Chippewa County |
Spur 447 |
on Soo Line RR. ca. 2.5 miles W of Trout Lake. |
|
Chippewa County |
Spur 459 |
on Soo Line RR ca. 9 miles E of Trout Lake. [According to “Tales & Trails of Tro-La-Oz-Ken” (a 1976 local history of the Trout Lake area), p. 85, Spur 459 was once a community of 100 persons, had a P.O. 1910–1915, and was “one mile south of Ozark”—that location apparently erroneous (it would better locate Kenneth).] |
|
Clare County |
Neithercut Woodland |
sec. 17, T17N, R5W (Surrey Tp.) (an outdoor education tract of Central Michigan University). |
|
Clinton County |
Chandler’s Marsh |
over 3000 acres once owned by Zachariah Chandler, U.S. Senator from Michigan (bought by him from the Agricultural College, fide Ceasar 1978 p. 27–28); the marsh mostly in Clinton Co., incl. all portions near the RR (cf. soils map), but the S part does extend into Ingham Co. (cf. 1933 soils map). Chandler Farm was “3 miles N of M.A.C.” [Mich. Agric. College] (cf. CFW 1901 label for Senecio pauperculus; cf. also Mich. History 65(3): 10, May–June 1981, and esp. 82(6): 52–53, Nov.–Dec. 1998). |
|
Crawford County |
Frazer’s (or Fraser’s) |
SW¼ NW¼ sec. 26, T27N, R1W, on North Branch of the Au Sable River (Voss & Crow 1976, p. 40); sometimes erroneously attributed to Oscoda Co. (CFW et al. in 1888). |
|
Crawford County |
Portage Lake |
former name of 1300-acre Lake Margrethe west of Grayling (CFW et al. in 1888; cf. Voss & Crow 1976, pp. 45–47). [There are still about a dozen Portage Lakes altogether in Michigan.] |
|
|
|
|
|
Delta County |
Point Detour |
at tip of Garden Peninsula (Lewis Foote on Sept. 22, 1863, was at this place [“N. W. shore L. Michigan” on his label for Calamintha arkansana]—not the eastern tip of the Upper Peninsula mainland in Chippewa Co. |
|
Delta County |
St. Martin Island |
in Lake Michigan S of Garden Peninsula, just before the Wisconsin line. (For history of collecting, cf. Judziewicz, Mich. Bot. 40: 139–140. 2002 [“2001”]). [Not to be confused with the St. Martin Island in St. Martin Bay north of Mackinac Island, in Mackinac Co.] |
|
Dickinson County |
Camp 9 |
near Waucedah (CAD in 1905). |
|
Dickinson County? |
Mud Lake |
Of over 300 “Mud Lakes” in Michigan, there appear to be none “25 miles southeast of Ishpeming” (F. P. Metcalf, Sept. 1922), which would be in Alger Co.; however, there are several in northeastern Dickinson Co., ± SSW of Ishpeming, and probably where the collector was (cf. his labels for Andromeda glaucophylla and Ledum groenlandicum, A). |
|
Dickinson County |
Twin Falls |
on Menominee River, sec. 7, T40N, R30W and sec. 12, R31W (CAD in 1905; cf. p. 226 in his report on peat in Rep. Geol. Surv. Mich. for 1906). |
|
|
|
|
|
Emmet County |
Kruzel’s Bog |
NW¼ sec. 25, T35N, R5W (UMBS; now the Orchis Fen Preserve of Little Traverse Conservancy). |
|
Emmet/Cheboygan County |
Mackinaw City |
Although usually listed as being in Cheboygan Co. (where the Post Office and most of the business district are), by far the greater part of the area of the village has long been in Emmet Co. (the south end of the Mackinac Bridge now marking the division point). [Note that this name has never applied to Mackinac Island (Mackinac Co.), although vague terms like “Mackinaw” and “Michilimackinac” often referred in times past to the whole general area.] |
|
Emmet County |
Paige (Page) |
on Little Traverse Bay (near S edge sec. 16, T35N, R5W) along the RR between Menonaqua Beach and Ramona Park. (cf. 1902 plat map); CWF often collected here 1899–1923. |
|
Emmet County |
Rosedale |
E edge of Petoskey, at Bay View (cf. 1902 plat map—and current street sign). [Note that there was also a Rosedale in Chippewa Co., from which I have seen no collections.] |
|
Emmet County |
Wawatam Beach |
erroneously assigned to Cheboygan Co. by Romig but is entirely west of the county line in the village of Mackinaw City (q.v.). |
|
Emmet County |
West Lake |
= Dow Lake = western of the Twin Lakes, in sec. 12, T38N, R4W (Carp Lake Tp.—not Wawatam Tp. as indicated by Nelson) (UMBS). |
|
|
|
|
|
Genesee County |
Burton |
presumably Burton Tp. (D. Clarke in 1866). |
|
Genesee County |
Long Lake |
= Lake Fenton (cf. Soil Survey publ. in 1914). |
|
Gladwin County |
Pratt Lake |
T19N, R2W. Of the four lakes bearing this name, in as many counties, the one visited by F. Comte in Aug. 1956 (specimens at MO) must have been the Gladwin Co. one, for the species collected would not have all occurred near any of the other Pratt Lakes.] |
|
Gogebic County |
Black River |
this is the Black River of Henry Gillman in 1868, flowing into Lake Superior west of the Presque Isle River and Porcupine Mts. State Park (cf. Peters in Mich. Academician 18: 426. 1986). [There are several other Black Rivers in Michigan, e.g., in Alcona, Allegan, Muskegon (C. D. McLouth coll.), Ottawa (see below), St. Clair (C. K. Dodge coll.), Sanilac, and Van Buren counties. The Black River in Cheboygan Co. flows from Black Lake into the Cheboygan River near its mouth, but the name is also carelessly applied to the Upper Black River, which arises in Otsego Co. and flows through small portions of Montmorency and Presque Isle counties before finally entering Black Lake in Cheboygan Co.] |
|
Gogebic County |
8-mile Creek |
west side of Gogebic Lake (EAB in 1919); (cf. label for Juncus dudleyi). |
|
Gogebic County |
Killarney Point |
on Tenderfoot Lake, not in Wisconsin as labeled by P. E. Hebert (fide B. Hellenthal). |
|
Gogebic County? |
Mamie Lake |
T44N, R41W, on Wisconsin border. [HTD wrote (Rep. Mich. Acad. 22: 148. 1921) that his (and EAB’s) Gogebic County headquarters in 1919 were “at Bent’s camp on the south side of Mamie Lake and less than a mile from the Wisconsin line.” The lake was said to cover “nearly a square mile.” The location for their 1920 field work was likewise “in the vicinity of Bent’s Camp in the southeastern part of the county.” (Pap. Mich. Acad. 1: 74. 1923). Dr. Darlington confirmed in conversation with me that the camp was on the south side of Mamie Lake. Yet, Michigan maps show Mamie lake almost entirely in Wisconsin (and Wisconsin maps concur), with barely the northern tip extending into Michigan. Bent’s Resort is shown at the S end of Mamie lake, in Wisconsin well south of the Michigan line (not north of the state line), in a map [?1932] of Gogebic County, drawn by George W. Koronski, Gogebic County Engineer; however, on that map a narrow strait of Mamie Lake is shown north into Michigan. How far from “Bent’s Camp” HTD and EAB collected would determine the county (Gogebic in Michigan or Vilas in Wisconsin). And of course “Mamie Lake” may once have included what later maps separately identify as East Bay Lake (entirely in Michigan) and West Bay Lake (partly in Michigan), these three areas separated from each other by more or less narrow straits, with East Bay even included in West Bay Lake in a 1917 plat map.] |
|
Gogebic County? |
Porky Point |
location unknown, but presumably not far from Thousand Island Lake (EAB, July 3, 1920; HTD could recall no location when I queried him). |
|
Grand Traverse County |
Bassett’s Island |
on NE side of Marion (Ford) Island (CFW in 1898). |
|
Grand Traverse County |
Edgewood |
(CFW in 1898; just E of Traverse City). |
|
Grand Traverse County |
Paradise |
community near the Kingsley RR station and later incorporated into the village of Kingsley, in Paradise Tp. (CFW et al. in 1888; cf. Voss & Crow 1976, p. 61). [Quite different from the village of Paradise on Whitefish Bay in Chippewa Co.] |
|
Grand Traverse/Antrim County |
Traverse Bay |
Mary Clark was here in 1869 at Elk Rapids [Antrim Co.] on Grand Traverse Bay (cf. her label for Utricularia cornuta); she was also at Traverse City [Grand Traverse Co.] in 1869. CFW collected at the Bay in 1898, often with reference to Traverse City or the Peninsula in the Bay, so presumably his specimens are to be referred to Grand Traverse Co. and not to Leelanau or Antrim counties, which also border the Bay.

Bailey Lake |
“4 miles east of Grand Rapids” (cf. CWB 1940 label for Lysimachia terrestris; his locality is in accord with the map in Cole 1901 although this lake is unnamed on the 1914 topo map for Grand Rapid quad.: NW¼ sec. 25, Grand Rapids Tp.; however, that lake is now shown as East Lake on maps.) [Other maps (both recent and 1918 topo for Lowell quad.) show Bailey Lake in sec. 19 of Vergennes Tp., mapped by EJC (1901) as Long Lake. Since Miss Cole had attended high school in Vergennes and later taught there for four years, the discrepancy is especially odd; Bailey School was across the road from the lake, which suggests some authenticity to the name in that tp.] |

Clifton (or Cliff) |
village at the great Cliff Mine site, nearly 3 miles SW of Eagle River (with shafts in several sections, including sec. 36, T58N, R32W, and adjacent sec. 1, T57N). Oliver A. Farwell (father of the botanist) was agent in charge of the mine from 1871 (coming from the nearby Phoenix Mine) until his death in 1881. OAF the botanist collected extensively in the Cliff area. [It is no coincidence that Hervey Parke, who handled the business records for the Cliff Mine 1852–1863, was founder of the Parke, Davis firm, which employed the botanist Farwell from 1892 until his retirement in 1933.] The Cliff lands were purchased by Calumet & Hecla (q.v., as “C. & H.”) in 1909.

Macomb/St.Clair County |
New Baltimore |
on the county line (OAF’s nos. 8551–8569 in 1929 are attributed to the St. Clair Co. side of the line [cf. his field notes]; he attributes 6389 and 6390 in 1922 to Macomb Co. Some other collectors may not have been so precise). For A. J. Pieters’ 1893 collections from Lake St. Clair near New Baltimore (cf. Bull. Mich. Fish Comm. 2. 1894), his map shows no county line—which would be just W of 80°45'W longitude as shown on his map; if a label mentions some specific site or station in the lake, it may be possible to assign a county. |
|
Macomb County |

John Adams’ land = ca. l mile N of Disco, Shelby Tp. (cf. DC label for Cuscuta gronovii). |

the township (T3N, R12E) in Macomb Co. is immediately south of Washington (where Dennis Cooley and William A. Burt lived). [It should not be confused with the village of Shelby (in another Shelby Tp.) in Muskegon Co. on the opposite side of the state.] |

Tacoma |
I have been unable to locate this site where OAF collected his nos. 4263–4274 July 2, 1916, attributing them to Macomb Co. in his field notes and in some published citations, but without further information. He collected at no other place that day, and the collections include both upland and fen species. |

|
Manistee County |
Bear Lake |

|
Manistee County |
Canfield’s Farm |
now within the southwestern city limits of Manistee; type locality for Potamogeton hillii (cf. Morong label, 14 Aug. 1882, NY, “pool on Canfield’s farm, near Manistee”). [The property was acquired by the Manistee Country Club in the late 1880s and the two pools were drained (letter of Sept. 28, 1959, from C. N. Russell, president of Manistee County Historical Society, to EGV, quoted in Mich. Bot. 4: 13–14. 1965). Not the same as Canfield Lake, 3 miles to the southeast.] |

|
Marquette County |
Little Lake |
ca. 3–5 miles E of Gwinn; this is presumably the “Little Lake” of Dachnowski in 1906, although not in the Marquette Quadrangle (neither is the very much smaller Little Lake just W of Teal Lake); the town of the same name (but P.O. then called Forsyth) was on the Chicago & Northwestern RR 22 miles SE of Negaunee—suggesting that Dachnowski traveled through Little Lake and Sands (q.v.). |
|
Marquette County |
Longyear Tract |

|
Marquette County |
New England Mine |
sec. 16, T47N, R27W (Mary Clark in 1871 and 1872). |
|
Marquette County |
Normal |
= Northern State Normal School (now Northern Michigan University), Marquette (A. Dachnowski in 1906). [“Normal” is also shorthand on labels (CMC) for the Central State Normal School (now Central Michigan University) in Mt. Pleasant. Similarly, expect the same cryptic abbreviation for the former Normal Schools in Kalamazoo (Western Michigan University) and Ypsilanti (Eastern Michigan University), so that context such as origin of herbarium specimens may be needed for interpretation.] |
|
Marquette County |
Partridge Island |
in Partridge Bay of Lake Superior, NW of Marquette. |

Pickerell Lake |
= Harlow Lake near Little Presque Isle, NW of Marquette (Dachnowski in 1906; cf. 1907 topo map). |

Salmon Trout River |
this one flows into Lake Superior at Salmon Trout Bay west of Salmon Trout Pt., and is perhaps better known than the preceding, which was early called “Little” Salmon Trout (cf. Peters in Mich. Academician 18: 412. 1986). |
|
Marquette County |
Sands |
station on the Chicago & Northwestern RR 13 miles SE of Negaunee; presumably this is the “Sands” of A. Dachnowski in 1906 (and not the village of Sands ca. 3 miles to the north—neither, however, in the Marquette Quadrangle, which Dachnowski surveyed). [Named for Louis Sands, not for the dry sandy plains there, as described by Dachnowski in Rep. Mich. Acad. 9: 94. 1908.] |
|
Marquette County |

Monroe County |
Stoney Creek |
the electric interurban station was 4 mi SW of Newport (Mich. Man. 1905, p. 269); the creek itself crosses much of the county. OAF walked from Monroe along the tracks to Stoney Creek June 9, 1921 (cf. his field notes and Am. Midl. Nat. 11: 46 etc. 1928); he also collected at this Stoney Creek Aug. 17, 1927. [Of course there are Stoney/Stony Creeks in a number of other Michigan counties.] |

|
Muskegon County |
Five Lakes |
a group of five drying lakes/hollows strongly dependent on water tables, in southwest part of Eggleston Tp. (T10N, R15W); Carr Lake is the largest (and the only one with a name—that once reportedly encompassed all); cf. McLouth in 1900, Scirpus hallii, et al. Part of the area is now a sanctuary of the Michigan Nature Association. [I know of no plant collections from Five Lakes, formerly a settlement and P.O. in Lapeer Co.; cf. Romig.] |

|
Oakland County |

vicinity of Rochester, Avon Tp. OAF collected here (the creek flowed through Parkedale in sec. 12; cf. Pap. Mich. Acad. 15: 150. 1914). DC also collected at Stony Creek marsh (E border in Avon [Tp.], cf. his 1843 label for Scirpus hudsonianus and also 1847 label for Salix eriocephala); however, DC 1848 label for C. crawei on “bank of Stony Creek marsh” is attributed to Washington [Tp., Macomb Co.]. (On Stony Creek history, including Van Hoosen farm, see Mich. History 62(3): 18–36, Sept–Oct. 1978 and 79(5): 53–55, Sept.–Oct. 1995.) |
|
Oakland County |
Townsend Marsh |
Oakland [Tp.] (DC 1837 label for Carex tetanica; however, on an 1840 label for Solidago patula he crossed out “Oakland” and wrote in “Washington” [Tp., Macomb Co.]; on some other 1840 and 1847 labels he has merely “Washington” (the 1859 plat has no Townsend property in Washington Tp.). On his label for an 1840 collection of Zizania aquatica, he wrote “Townsend pond on the line of Washington–Oakland,” so he obviously was aware of the county line. |

Presque Isle |
Lewis Foote’s collecting on June 15, 1863, must have been in Presque Isle Co. On June 17 he was collecting at Ephraim, Wisconsin, and he could hardly have gotten there via the Presque Isle in Marquette Co., on Lake Superior. |

|
St. Clair County |
Edgewater Park |
at Algonac (OAF) . |
|
St.Clair/Macomb County |
New Baltimore |
on the county line (OAF’s nos. 8551–8569 in 1929 are attributed to the St. Clair Co. side of the line [cf. his field notes]; he attributes 6389 and 6390 in 1922 to Macomb Co. Some other collectors may not have been so precise). For A. J. Pieters’ 1893 collections from Lake St. Clair near New Baltimore (cf. Bull. Mich. Fish Comm. 2. 1894), his map shows no county line—which would be just W of 80°45'W longitude as shown on his map; if a label mentions some specific site or station in the lake, it may be possible to assign a county. |
|
St. Clair County |
St. Clair Flats |
at mouth of St. Clair River, in Lake St. Clair; long dredged to accommodate navigation (old maps, history, etc., in Beacon 19(4), Winter 2001–02). |
|
St. Clair County |
Star Island |
in St. Clair Flats, Lake St. Clair (A. B. Lyons in 1877; cf. his label for Carex rostrata and Chronicle 27(1–2): 26. 1993). “Star Island Cut” was between two of the islands near end of S. Channel Dr., just NW of International border (cf. old maps of the Flats, e.g. as in Beacon 19(4): 13, Winter 2001–02). |

| T | ||
|
Tuscola/Bay County |
Quanicassee |
R. R. Dreisbach collected here (as “Quanticasse”) May 22, 1927, and Sept. 6, 1931. He labeled all his specimens as from Bay Co.; however, in his field notes he corrected nos. 5491–5499 and 7598–7602 to Tuscola Co. He left 5500–5504 and 7603–7605 as Bay Co. This distinction is also borne out by his exchange records. So it seems clear that he became aware of the proximity of the county line to this Tuscola Co. community. (Nos. 6192–6208, Aug. 26, 1928, are all unchanged as recorded, for Tuscola Co.) |

Botanical Gardens |
The University of Michigan Botanical Gardens have been located at three quite different sites (other than plots as early as 1897 on the central campus and rented greenhouse space in town). Originally (1907–1916) they were (in both geography and administration) associated with the Nichols Arboretum on Geddes Ave. in the NE part of Ann Arbor. From 1916 until 1960–1961 they were located south of Stadium Blvd. between Packard Rd. and South Industrial Highway, with the entrance on Iroquois St. Since completion of the move in 1961, the unit (now named the Matthaei Botanical Gardens) has been located on Dixboro Rd. in the NE part of Ann Arbor Tp. and W part of Superior Tp., south of Plymouth Rd. |

Chapman, History of Washtenaw County, pp. 1073, 1143, and 1204. 1881). [Sometimes on labels merely as “Lowell”—easily confused with the village and township of the same name in Kent Co.] |
|
Washtenaw County |
Mud Lake |
ca. 2 miles SW of Whitmore Lake in Webster Tp. and now a research property of the University of Michigan (Crispin 1980); but there are 6 other Mud Lakes in the county indexed by Humphrys, not including any in R2S, R7E (Superior Tp.), as apparently mapped by Walpole (1924). |

|
Washtenaw County |
Wiard |
station on the Michigan Central RR near SW corner of sec. 1, Ypsilanti Tp. (cf. topo map for Ypsilanti quad, 1906 ed.). OAF frequently collected here and doubtless explored some distance from the station. A pioneer family, the Wiards moved from New York to Michigan in 1830 and settled on Wiard Road, founding Wiard Orchards in 1853. [In 1943 the Wiards moved their business to Merritt Rd. having sold the original site for industrial and expressway (now Interstate 94) development (cf. www.wiards.com).]. |

Squaw Island |
location unknown (McVaugh 1970, pp. 237 and 243) but quite possibly = Mama Juda Island (q.v.) “named from an old squaw” (Farmer p. 7) (First Survey in 1837; cf. label on Lysimachia thyrsiflora). [Since the label, in the hand of Bela Hubbard, Houghton’s assistant, says “Detroit River” presumably this was not the tiny Squaw Island shown on the old Maumee Bay topo quadrangle (surveyed in 1899) between the south ends of Indian Island and Guard Island on the north side of Maumee Bay, Monroe Co. Neither of these need be confused with the Squaw Island in northern Lake Michigan, in the Beaver group (Charlevoix Co.).] |
