Here is what little info I could find on Summitville


Summitville, Michigan was a lumbering town on the Pere Marquette Railroad about four miles west of Chase. Today, there is very little evidence that there was a town at the junction of State Road and U.S. 10.  There is indeed a summit, which currently is etched with ORV trails, and the old railroad bed is also a trail. The book, Michigan Ghosts Towns by R. L. Dodge, Glendon Publishing, Las Vegas NV, 1971, has an entry about Summitville: In 1877 a village in Chase Township on the F. & P. M. Railroad, 9 miles west of Reed City. “Has one sawmill and seven other sawmills nearby. S. G. Randall, postmaster and station agent.” 
If you head south down state rd to the intersection of 56th this the the mapped location of Summitville.
 
 
the info was taken from http://www.rae.org/hale/summitville.html

The cache is a small lock and lock with a log and a few trade items, please hide as it was found.
