→M-74 was the designation of a state trunkline highway in the US state of Michigan. The highway ran through rural Missaukee County connecting Pioneer with Merritt. The highway was designated by 1919 along a longer route. It was shortened before it was totally removed from the highway system in the late 1930s.

Route description
M-74 started at a junction with M-66 near the community of Pioneer. It ran east on Moorestown Road through Stittsville to Moorestown before turning south on Nelson Road. There it ran through the community of Star City, turning west briefly on Walker Road and running south on Star City Road before terminating at a junction with M-55 west of Merritt. All of M-74 was a gravel highway.[2][3]
History
On July 1, 1919, M-74 ran between Pioneer and M-55 west of Merritt. There it turned east running concurrently with M-55 to Merritt where it turned south to Moddersville and terminated.[1] The spur south of Merrit remained a state highway through at least late 1938.[5] Late that year or early the next, the roadway between Merritt and Moddersville was turned back to local control and removed from the highway system.[3][5] By late 1939, the entire highway was decommissioned in its entirety.[4] The highway designation has not been used since.[6]
Major intersections
The entire highway was in Missaukee County.
