"The rich annotations are a treasure - the historical features and myriad points of interest far exceed those found in other atlases. The geographic and historical information for each county contains excellent information for digging into an area’s past. Photos, specific names and dates. For anyone doing serious research in Michigan, having ranges, towns and section numbers is essential. Water features are consistently and accurately shown. As the various books are examined, it is clear that the spiral binding is an essential part of this useful atlas."
Douglas Johnson
