Looking at this:

I'd be surprised if we ever identified that river. There are a lot of
little streams in the Grand Trunk RR network.

I love old maps!

Bill's find was interesting but, while brookies in the southern half of
Michigan's lower peninsula as late as 1902 seems plausible, it doesn't
strike me as very likely. This map opens up many VERY likely
possibilities.....places where brookies are still common today.

It just got even more difficult, I'm sorry to say. Don't know why I didn't
check Wiki to begin with, but this map, and more information about the Grand
Funk, er Trunk, railroad is there.

Lots and LOTS of brookie water there. What, most of eastern Canada, VT, NH,
Maine, Michigan, Wisconsin, Alberta...
