1958 Map of Grand Rapids
USGS Topo · Published 1973About this map
Industrial and transportation corridors define this late-1950s landscape, anchored by the major urban centers of Grand Rapids, Lansing, and Kalamazoo. The expansion of the postwar interstate system is evident in the paths of I-96 and I-94, which cut through the agricultural heartland and connect smaller manufacturing hubs like Battle Creek and Jackson. This period of growth is balanced by extensive public lands, including the Fort Custer Military Reservation and sprawling natural tracts like the Allegan State Forest and Yankee Springs State Rec Area.
