Maple Grove Township was a civil township in Cheboygan County in the U.S. state of Michigan.

The township was created from the southern half of Forest Township in 1909. Maple Grove Township last reported a population of 10 at the 1940 census. In 1942, it merged back into Forest Township due to a low population.[1][2]

History

<templatestyles src="Module:Historical populations/styles.css"/>Script error: No such module "Historical populations". Maple Grove Township was first established on October 28, 1909.[3] It was set aside from the southern Script error: No such module "convert". survey township area of Forest Township in the southeastern corner of Cheboygan County.[4]

Although the township was created prior to the 1910 census, the new township went unreported in that decennial census. In the 1920 census, the population was recorded at 63.[5] The township recorded a population of 33 in the 1930 census.[6] In the 1940 census, the township recorded only 10 residents.[1] Because of its very low population, the township returned back to Forest Township in 1942, at which time Maple Grove Township ceased to exist.[2]

Geography

Although the township never had any precise area measurements, it occupied the southern 36 sections of Forest Township, which is a survey township area approximately equal to Script error: No such module "convert". total.

The township contained Dorsy Lake (or Duby Lake) and Silver Lake.[7][8] The Black River also flowed through the township. The rural township had no major roadways, although M-33 was created in 1919 and ran near the eastern edge of the township.[9]
