M-105 was the name of a state trunkline highway inside The Thumb in the US state of Michigan. It connected M-53 in Popple and M-83 near Elkton. M-83 is now known as M-142. The name was used in the 1920s and 1930s, and it has not been used since.

Route description[change | change source]

M-105 started at an intersection with M-53 (Van Dyke Road) in the community of Popple, just before M-53 curved east towards Bad Axe. M-105 was known as Pinnebog Road. The trunkline traveled north and then northwest, and crossed the Pinnebog River. After intersecting Stein Road, M-105 turned north for about three miles (4.8 km) through farm country and rural areas before meeting M-83 (Pigeon Road), a few miles east of Elkton. The highway was used as a shortcut between M-53 and M-83.[1][2]

History[change | change source]

The M-105 first appeared on maps in 1928.[4][5] The highway was decommissioned in 1939 when it was changed back to local control.[2][3] The name has not been used since.[6]
