In 1840 and 1841 a survey map of Chandler Township Charlevoix County MI was prepared.
Chandler Township shows on the above 1901 Charlevoix County Plat book map that the township had two Post Offices for villages/towns of Dot and of Springvale. In 2013 neither Dot nor Springvale exists except in the minds of a few people, and on the written pages of a few publications; and the township no longer has a village or a city. Also, 75 percent of Chandler Township is comprised of State-owned land which maintains the overall rural character of the township. Private land is precious, and not often up for sale. Hudson Township, just to the south of Chandler Township includes nearby Lake Louise, also known as Thumb Lake, which Chandler Township residents and the general public, along with several cottagers, and the Christian Camps located on the shoreline of the lake, have always enjoyed. Although the township has lost the Camp Wolverine CCC, and the two villages to time, the township still has two cemeteries; Gallop Cemetery and Howard Cemetery, which hold the remains of many of the township pioneers, and their descendants.
