Route description
M-105 began at an intersection with M-53 (Van Dyke Road) in the small community of Popple, just before M-53 curved east towards Bad Axe. Known as Pinnebog Road, the trunkline traveled first north and then northwesterly, crossing the Pinnebog River. After intersecting Stein Road, M-105 turned due 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 served as a shortcut connector between M-53 and M-83.[1][4]
History
The first appearance of M-105 on maps was in 1928.[2][3] The designation was decommissioned in 1939 when the roadway was transferred back to local control.[4][5] The designation has not been used since.[6]
Major intersections
The entire highway was in Colfax Township, Huron County.
