I was reading the Wikipedia entry for Center Line and it claimed the French named it Center Line because it was the middle of three Potowatomi trails from Fort Detroit to northern trading posts. Were roads eventually built over these trails? How far out did these trails extend? Did these trails extend all the way through the lower UP? I know that Moravian was a trail/road that went deep into the wilderness, but I didn't think any other trails went that far out.
Yea, I know it's Wikipedia, but it was taken from a prtty good book written by Walter Romig.
