Go to the local librarys, see if any have the old Atlases done preferably in the 1860's and again in the 1890's. Reason for this difference is it may show where one or two of the original townsites were before the railroads came in. Many towns, especially up this way, disappeared or moved based on the routes the railroads set up during the late 1860's and 1870's. We have four ghost towns within 20 minutes of my house, just plowed fields now that once had P.O.'s, schools and churches.
