About this map

Gull Lake dominates the center of this landscape, its western shores featuring Highland Park and Island Park during a time of significant transition between rural agriculture and industrial development. To the south, the Kalamazoo River serves as a vital corridor, flanked by the Michigan Central RR and the Chicago and Kalamazoo Electric RR, which connect the primary settlements of Galesburg and Augusta. This transportation network supported both the local economy and the massive military presence at Camp Custer in the southeastern corner of the quadrangle.
