About this map

The Grand River and Kalamazoo River anchor this mid-century portrait of West and Central Michigan, capturing the state's industrial and agricultural heartland during a period of significant post-war infrastructure growth. Major urban centers including Grand Rapids, Lansing, and Kalamazoo are shown as they began to expand outward along newly established corridors like I-96 and I-94. The map reveals the dense network of the Chesapeake and Ohio RR and New York Central RR lines that still served the region's manufacturing hubs and small towns like Lake Odessa and Charlotte.
