1976 Map of Big Rapids SE

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

Altona and Sylvester appear as the primary clusters of development in this mid-1970s orthophotoquad. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Muskegon River, which snakes through the southern half of the quadrangle, and the complex shoreline of Lake Mecosta in the north. This aerial perspective, captured in May 1976, reveals a patchwork of agricultural fields and woodlots interspersed with emerging residential subdivisions near the lakefront. Researchers can see the exact footprint of farmsteads and the structure of local roads before the expansion of more modern rural infrastructure, providing a clear record of land use and property boundaries in this portion of Mecosta County.
