Prior to its settlement by the whites, [it] was an Indian hunting ground traversed by three and perhaps more trails. The main trail from Compenaconaic to Nepessing crossed the Kearsley creek below where the Atlas mills now stand.
After the missionaries went among the Indians they would camp by these springs... . Here the trail forked; one going along the highland west of the big swamp and around Potter's lake, probably to Nepessing (in Lapeer County, Michigan), the other took a northerly course to Flint river. Source
