1912 Map of Lansing

About this map

Lansing dominates the northeastern corner of this 1912 survey, where the Grand River and Cedar River converge amidst a dense grid of city streets and several radiating rail lines. The landscape quickly transitions to a rural tapestry of small townships including Delta, Windsor, and Aurelius. This era is defined by its proliferation of local institutions, evidenced by more than two dozen named schoolhouses such as Dolly Varden School, New Guinea School, and the Canada Settlement School.
