1965 Map of Lansing North

About this map

The Looking Glass River snakes through the center of this map, defining the landscape between the growing urban boundary of Lansing and the rural townships of De Witt and Olive. Near the confluence of the river and Turkey Creek Drain, the village of De Witt serves as a local hub, featuring the De Witt Sch and the Riverside Park waterfront. The southern edge of the map captures the industrial and suburban expansion of the mid-1960s, including the sprawling Capital City Airport and the Lansing Corp Bdy as it reaches toward Valley Farms.
