1948 Map of Homer
USGS Topo · Published 1968About this map
Homer and Tekonsha serve as the primary hubs in this mid-century portrait of southern Michigan, where the New York Central railroad corridor links small agricultural settlements. The landscape is defined by the headwaters of the St Joseph River and the Kalamazoo River, punctuated by numerous natural basins like Lyon Lake and Homer Lake. This survey illustrates the high density of rural education at the time, featuring dozens of localized schoolhouses such as Knickerbocker Sch, Dayburg Sch, and Herricksville Sch. Local industry and infrastructure are represented by Quaker Mills and the Brooks Field Airport, while the presence of Shooks Prairie Cem and West Eckford Cem provides critical points of interest for genealogical research in Calhoun, Branch, and Hillsdale Counties.
