Station: Bigelow, MI

Bigalow MI Overhead ViewBigelaw was a lumber camp and timber staging site along what is now M-32 in the area of Camp 8 Road and McCormick Lake Road between Atlanta and Lewiston.

Photo Info: A Google Maps overhead view of Bigelow on M-32 at Camp 8 Road. The Michigan Central logging branch came through here along Camp 8 road southeast to McCormick Lake Road. It appears from the map that this may have been some type of railroad staging yard for outgoing lumber however there is no other evidence of this and the terrain may be a coincidence. [Dale Berry]
