Moffitt School

1900 Plat map of Hinton Township

According to the 1900 Plat map of Hinton township (left), 5 rural school districts were in use (probably not including Altona). 

The numbers of the districts are circled for clarification.  This plat map can be viewed on line through the U of M website. Click here.

One of the rural school districts, called the Moffitt School is pictured below. It was thought that the Moffitt school was district number 3 because it was located on the corner of 100th Avenue and 1 Mile Road.  However the sign in the picture below states that it was RSD #4.  In either case, neither school is still standing.
