About this map

Battle Creek serves as a dense industrial and rail hub in this mid-century study, centered at the confluence of the Kalamazoo River and its namesake stream. The landscape is heavily marked by the infrastructure of the era, from the sprawling Kellogg Air Base to the dual rail lines of the Michigan Central RR and Grand Trunk RR that dictate the city's growth. Residential expansion is evident in neighborhoods like Urbandale and Verona, while the surrounding townships of Pennfield and Bedford remain a patchwork of small school districts and family-named corners.
