1967 Map of Caledonia

About this map

Caledonia and the surrounding townships of Gaines, Cascade, and Thornapple are captured here during a period of transition as the Grand Rapids suburbs began to push south. The Penn Central rail line cuts diagonally across the landscape, serving as a primary corridor through Dutton and past the site of Holy Corners. This era reveals a mix of established rural infrastructure and emerging residential growth, with several local schools like Gaines Sch and Dutton Sch still central to their respective communities.
