About this map

Michigan State University anchors the western edge of this 1970 landscape, where the campus meets the burgeoning residential developments of East Lansing and Okemos. The Red Cedar River meanders through the center of the sheet, tracing a path past the River-Bend Cem and the Indian Hills Golf Course. This era shows the transition of Meridian and Alaiedon townships from agricultural tracts to suburban communities, yet legacy rural markers remain prominent, including the Leek Cems and various district schools like Kinawa Sch and Wardcliff Sch.
