1925 Map of Darlington

About this map

Ford City and the surrounding townships of Jackson, Miller, and Grant appear here in a transition between the old rural schoolhouse era and modern transport. The northern half of the quadrangle is dominated by the Grand River, where early local infrastructure is represented by Crawford Bridge and Osborne Bridge. The rail-focused economy of the 1920s is evident in the path of the Chicago Burlington and Quincy railroad as it cuts through the northwest corner near Millen School.
