1963 Map of Caro

About this map

The Cass River serves as the geographic heart of this area, winding past the village of Wahjamega and the institutional grounds of the Caro State Hospital. This region reflects a mid-century balance between a growing county seat and expansive conservation lands. The town of Caro exhibits its roles as a local hub through features like the Fairground, High Sch, and the Sacred Heart Sch. To the south and west, the landscape transitions into the preserved wildlands of the Tuscola State Game Area and the Vassar State Game Area, where the terrain is dominated by a dense network of agricultural waterways such as the Washburn Drain and O'Brien Drain. Infrastructure from the era is well-represented by the New York Central railroad corridor and the Caro Airport, while local genealogy is rooted in sites like Indianfields Cemetery and Moreland Cem.
