M-61
M-61 is a state trunkline in Michigan. It was designated first along a portion of its current alignment n the 1920s. It runs through northern Osceola County, Clare County, Gladwin County to Bay County.
- Historical Notes: Until 1940, according to Roy L. Dodge (1918-1978), author of Michigan Ghost Towns Vol. 2, there was no M-61 between Harrison and Gladwin, and only 6 miles of the 40 mile stretches was paved. Also, M-61 originally turned north near Temple, then west through Marion to US 131 (Mackinaw Trail) near Tustin. In 1959, M-61's designation was removed between M-115 and US 131, and in 1974, a new 2-lane M-61 was constructed from Temple to M-115, bypassing Marion.
