1953 Map of Everett

About this map

Everett and Austin anchor this rural Cass County landscape as it appeared in the early 1950s, defined by the winding course of the South Grand River. The river's influence is clear through the complex meanders and the Old Channel paths that trace its historical movement across the floodplain. Rural education and community life are well-documented here, featuring numerous country schools such as Hickory Grove Sch, Bybee Sch, and Rocky Point Sch, alongside several that were already marked as out of use, including Zion Sch (Abandoned). Distinctive topographic landmarks like Dolan Mound, Steen Mound, and Masters Hill rise above the river bottomlands, while a large Tank Farm in the northwest corner points to the area's mid-century infrastructure. Genealogists will find particular value in the location of the Burford Cem and the Grand River Ch situated near the river's bend.
