1943 Map of Bangor
USGS Topo · Published 1943About this map
The Pere Marquette and New York Central railroads anchor this interior section of Van Buren and Allegan counties, meeting at the rail hub of Grand Junction. The village of Bangor serves as a primary population center, surrounded by a dense network of country school districts that define the rural social landscape of the early 1940s. These include distinctive local landmarks such as the Garden Of Eden Sch and the West Brick Sch, alongside the Kibbie Chapel to the northwest. The presence of the Michigan Base Line and the Kalamazoo Road highlights the established surveying and transport corridors of the era. East of the lake-studded landscape near Saddle Lake, smaller settlements like Breedsville and Lacota illustrate the close-knit spacing of agricultural and railway communities before the mid-century shift toward larger consolidated townships.
