1967 Map of Kalamazoo NE

About this map

The Kalamazoo River and the Penn Central railroad corridor anchor this landscape at the intersection of Allegan, Barry, and Kalamazoo counties. In the late 1960s, the area reflects a mix of traditional agricultural road grids, such as 104th Avenue and Base Line Road, alongside burgeoning recreational developments like the Lake Doster Golf Club and Camp Merrie Woode. Small settlements and transit points including Doster, Neeley, and Cressey are interspersed among numerous water bodies, including Pine Lake and Warner Lake. For genealogists and local historians, the sheet preserves the locations of several burial grounds, including Ives Cem, Hillside Cem, and East Cooper Cem, providing a clear record of the rural community's footprint before late-century suburban expansion reached these townships.
