1957 Map of Cadillac South

About this map

The south side of Cadillac serves as the gateway to this central Michigan landscape, where recreation and agriculture meet in the late 1950s. Lake Cadillac and Lake Mitchell anchor the north, with William Mitchell State Park separating the two basins. To the south, the terrain transitions into a patchwork of rural townships like Burdell and Sherman, where dozens of country schools once served local farm families. The map records several education sites already in transition, including the Sherman Sch and the Nash Sch.
