1918 Map of Leonidas

USGS Topo · Published 1918

About this map

Leonidas and Mendon anchor the southern reaches of this 1917 survey, where the ST Joseph River and Nottawa Creek shape a landscape of rural townships and early industrial sites. The map reveals a dense network of country schools, such as School No 1 and Bedlam School, serving agricultural communities like Fulton and Factoryville. Transportation is defined by the Grand Rapids And Indiana RR and the Michigan Central RR, providing vital links for the region's economy. Notable landmarks like Kings Mill and the Nottawa Bridge highlight the era's reliance on water power and local river crossings. Genealogical researchers will find value in the specific placement of farm-adjacent landmarks including Mc Kain Corners, Beard Church, and the Dutton Cemetery, reflecting the social and physical structure of south-central Michigan during the early twentieth century.
