1958 Map of Cross Village

About this map

Cross Village and the remote northern shoreline of Lake Michigan define this 1958 survey of Emmet County. The map details a landscape where traditional settlements and spiritual sites are deeply integrated into the coastal terrain, most notably at the Holy Cross Cem and the Indian Cem. Small agrarian and fishing outposts like Good Hart and Middle Village are connected by narrow roads winding through the Hardwood State Forest, reflecting a quiet mid-century pace of life before modern development.
