About this map

Michigan State University dominates the northwestern landscape of this 1970s survey, showing the campus layout and the neighboring city of East Lansing during a period of significant suburban expansion. The Red Cedar River meanders eastward through the center of the sheet, connecting the urban core to the growing communities of Okemos and Haslett. The interplay between the region's educational infrastructure and its transportation history is evident in the proximity of Okemos Station to the Grand Trunk Western and Chesapeake and Ohio railroad lines.
