1935 Map of Alma

About this map

St Louis and Alma emerge as the primary industrial and population centers of central Michigan in this mid-1930s survey, defined by the junction of the Ann Arbor Railroad and the Pere Marquette Railroad. The Pine River meanders through these twin hubs, while to the south, Ithaca serves as a structured grid settlement and a focal point for the surrounding townships. The landscape is intensely subdivided into a dense network of sections, punctuated by dozens of rural district schools such as Irishtown Sch and Jack Day Sch.
