About this map

The Grand River corridor north of Grand Rapids is defined by a dense network of suburban expansion and agricultural transitions in the late 1960s. Comstock Park serves as a central hub where the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad meets the river, surrounded by established community landmarks like the Holy Trinity Ch and its namesake Holy Trinity Cem. The landscape to the north and west reveals a cluster of smaller settlements including Englishville and Ballards Corners, where early rural footprints remain visible through the Englishville Cem and various local schoolhouses like Koon Sch.

Industrial activity is evident in the numerous Gravel Pits scattered throughout Plainfield and Alpine townships, mirroring the post-war growth of the region. Recreational and natural features are prominent along the eastern edge, with a chain of lakes including Little Pine Island Lake, Elk Lake, and Scott Lake, the latter featuring the Scott Lake Golf Course. The southern portion of the map shows the northern reaches of the city, including the Grand Rapids corporate boundary and the convergence of Indian Mill Creek near the Penn Central rail lines.
