1961 Map of Bedford

About this map

The boundary between Barry and Calhoun counties defines this mid-century landscape of agricultural basins and water-filled kettle holes. Small rural hamlets like Lacey and Assyria are centers of community life, supported by a network of one-room schoolhouses such as Pleasantview Sch and Monroe Sch. The terrain is characterized by its high concentration of lakes and wetlands, including the larger Wabascon Lake and St Marys Lake, which reflect the area's post-glacial topography. Local history is anchored by several burial grounds including Ellis Cem and Bedford Cem, while more modern developments like the Sky Valley Landing Strip and Marywood Country Club hint at the area's mid-20th-century transition toward recreation and low-density residential expansion near the settlement of Bedford.
