Owendale Michigan V1.1 fs25-mods

Description:

Welcome to Owendale, Michigan. In 1882, as three new rail lines began laying track in Huron County, two cousins from Saginaw, Michigan—John G. and John S. Owen—purchased land in the Columbia Swamp. The following year, they opened a sawmill to harvest the native oak. John G. Owen hired civil engineer Quincy Thomas to survey a town site in 1887. The streets, alleys, and parks were dedicated to the public for their perpetual use, and the village was named Owendale. The sawmill burned down in 1896, shifting the area’s focus from lumbering to agriculture. Alfalfa crops were introduced and combined with livestock farming. There are 32 small, medium, and large fields, with limited forestry—though a sawmill is available if you wish to create a forest. The town features 7 production buildings, and a grain dryer is located on the main farm. You can purchase seeds, lime, and fertilizer from the pioneer dealer. During rain, drain ditches fill with water. Precision Farming is integrated into the map by default. The region is based on Saginaw, Michigan, so the focus is more on farming than logging. Wildlife includes white-tailed deer in the fall and wild turkeys.
