1985 Map of Grant
USGS Topo · Published 1985About this map
The town of Grant serves as the central hub of this West Michigan landscape, situated where the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad corridor intersects a grid of rural section roads. The map captures a mid-1980s transition where established agricultural communities like Ashland Center and Bailey remain anchored by local landmarks such as Bailey Gospel Ch and the North Casnovia Sch. Small water bodies and lowlands, including Blanch Lake and Skipperville Lake, interrupt the tillable fields, while several cemeteries, such as Parkview Cem and Danish Cem, provide critical touchstones for local genealogical research. Transportation is a key theme, ranging from the heavy rail line to specialized aviation sites like Grant Airport and the Tyrone Landing Strip. The presence of numerous small family-named cemeteries and crossroads settlements like Skipperville and Walter reflects the deep-rooted parceling of Newaygo, Muskegon, and Kent counties.
