1967 Map of Cutlerville

About this map

Buck Creek and the Penn Central railroad corridor anchor this mid-century view of the developing suburban fringe south of Grand Rapids. The landscape reveals a transition from the dense residential grids of Wyoming and Kentwood in the north to the sprawling institutional presence of the Pine Rest Hospital Complex and the industrial activity of numerous Gravel Pits. Local history is preserved in the placement of several family and community burial grounds, such as Boynton Cem and Winchester Cem, alongside a network of country schools including Emmons Sch and Marshall Sch. Moving south, the terrain opens into a more rural pattern near Byron Center and the village of Corinth, where small water bodies like Hilton Lake and Ross Lake punctuate the landscape of the Kent and Allegan county line.
