BANKS TOWNSHIP
MAP (from 1910 Plat Book)
This northerly township of Antrim County, called Banks, was
organized by an act of the Michigan Legislature on
March 11, 1863. The plat map of 1910 shows schools and churches as well as
roads that went around steep hills. Two examples of such roads include
Essex Road at Peebles Road, and the Ellsworth-Atwood Road, where Bentley
Hill was skirted by going north on Friske Road, then west just past the
Doctor School and back south to the bottom of Bentley Hill. Most of the
property owners' names on this map are only familiar to people over 50
years of age.
