History
M-70 was first shown on a state map on July 1, 1919, with the debut of the Michigan state trunkline highway system. The original routing was shown between M-76 at Sterling and M-55 at Prescott.Selkirk to US Highway 23 north of Whittemore. The segment east of Prescott to Whittemore was turned over to the county, but the section north of Prescott was added to M-70. This extended M-70 north to its terminus in Nester's Corners.[5][6] The designation was decommissioned by July 1, 1960. At the time, the highway was still a gravel road.[1][4]
