1991 Map of Big Rapids
USGS Topo · Published 1991About this map
The Muskegon River meanders through the heart of this West Michigan landscape, anchoring the regional hub of Big Rapids. This 1991 compilation captures a network of small timber and river towns connected by the C & O RR and major routes like Us 131. To the west, the Manistee National Forest covers a dense terrain of small lakes and creek systems, including Loda Lake and Wolf Lake, while the southern reaches are defined by the reservoir created by the Hardy Dam. Local transit and infrastructure are visible through facilities like the Baldwin Municipal Airport and the Forest Hill Cem in the county seat. This map documents a period of established recreation and forestry, showing the clear boundaries between the Pere Marquette State Forest and agricultural settlements like Remus and Barryton.
