Summary
At its April 3, 1989 meeting, Peaine Township reportedly resolved that the old county trespass road along Iron Ore Bay was abandoned and discontinued as a public road and accepted the new South End Road.
This is a newspaper account of a township action, not the resolution text or a survey. It does not establish the exact old or new centerline, construction date, right-of-way record, or maintenance responsibility.
Open questions
- Can the township resolution and road survey be located?
- What portions of the old road remain visible or passable?
- When was the new alignment constructed and by whom?
