About this map

The Looking Glass River winds through the heart of this mid-1960s landscape, separating the developing suburban fringes of Lansing from the agricultural townships of DeWitt and Olive. This era shows a community in transition, where legacy farm infrastructure like the Simmons Sch and Hurd Cem sits adjacent to modern expansions like Clinton Village and the growing Capital City Airport.

Industrial activity is evidenced by numerous Gravel Pits and the convergence of the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad and the New York Central Railroad near the northern edge of the city. Notable landmarks include the Highway Tabernacle and the expansive St Joseph Cemetery, while small water bodies like Lake Geneva and Round Lake dot the northern reaches, marking the glacial topography of Clinton County.
