1956 Map of Kalkaska

About this map

The village of Kalkaska serves as the primary hub of this northern Michigan landscape, situated at the junction of the Pennsylvania Railroad and the Boardman River. The mid-century geography reveals a dense network of rural infrastructure, including numerous schoolhouses like Tyler Sch and the Maple Grove Sch, which was already noted as abandoned by the mid-1950s. The terrain is characterized by its glacial hydrology, featuring complex clusters of water bodies such as Twenty-eight Lakes and the headwaters of the Little Rapid River.
