About this map

Glacial lakes and marshy lowlands dominate this postwar landscape where the borders of Barry, Kalamazoo, and Calhoun Counties meet. The village of Banfield serves as a central hub, flanked by its namesake Banfield Sch and Banfield Cem. To the west, Hickory Corners anchors a region characterized by numerous water bodies like Gilkey Lake and Fair Lake. The map reveals a mid-century rural economy shifting toward recreation, evidenced by the development at Poplar Beach on the shores of Fine Lake.
