1967 Map of Cedar Springs

About this map

Cedar Springs serves as the central hub of this northern Kent County landscape, where the Penn Central rail line intersects a grid of numbered roads including 17 Mile Road and 18 Mile Road. To the south, the settlement of Rockford sits along the winding course of the Rogue River, an area marked by topographical shifts near Porter Hollow and Steaman Hollow. The map reveals a post-war rural environment in transition, as traditional agriculture and small crossroads like Solon Center and Edgerton exist alongside emerging infrastructure like a Landing Strip and localized Oil Wells. Genealogists will find numerous family-history landmarks, from the Solon Cem and Punches Cem to local education sites such as the Algoma Sch and Valley View Sch.
