1967 Map of Cutlerville

About this map

Cutlerville and the southern edge of the Grand Rapids metropolitan area appear in a state of mid-century suburban expansion, where traditional agricultural townships meet new residential developments and industrial infrastructure. The landscape is marked by the presence of the Penn Central railroad and the Pine Rest Hospital Complex, which serve as major anchors in the northern half of the quadrangle. As the suburban footprint of Wyoming and Kentwood pushes southward, it surrounds established community centers like Byron Center and the village of Corinth. Numerous gravel pits across the area signal the ongoing construction boom of the era. Genealogists will find a wealth of local landmarks, from small country burial grounds like Winegar Cem and Weaver Cem to larger institutions such as Kent Memorial Gardens (Cemetery) and numerous neighborhood schools including Emmons Sch and Townline Sch.
