Fayette Fire suppression map (1).pdf

This document is a historical townsite map created by the Michigan Department of Conservation, specifically a fire suppression site plan for a geographic area. The map highlights buildings marked in red as priority sites for fire suppression, located on what appears to be a curved land formation near a harbor or water body. The map includes a detailed legend identifying existing structures from various years, including houses, barns, shops, and specialized buildings like a charcoal kiln. The site plan meticulously documents approximately 40-50 individual structures, with a color-coded system indicating existing buildings and roads from different historical survey periods (1867 and subsequent years).

The map provides a comprehensive spatial overview of a historical settlement, with precise location details and a scale in feet. The red-highlighted buildings suggest a strategic approach to fire protection, indicating which structures would receive priority attention in the event of a fire emergency. The document includes a detailed unit key on the left side listing various building types and their corresponding drawing numbers, suggesting this is part of a larger historical documentation and preservation effort by the state of Michigan's conservation department.
