1950 Map of Leonidas

USGS Topo · Published 1950

About this map

Leonidas and Mendon anchor this mid-century survey of the rural landscape where Kalamazoo and St. Joseph counties meet. The region is defined by a dense network of one-room schoolhouses and country cemeteries that speak to the established farming communities of the post-war era. Tracing the path of the Portage River and Nottawa Creek, the map details numerous family-named landmarks like McKain Corners and Gardners Corners. Significant water bodies including Indian Lake, Pickerel Lake, and Le Fevre Lake are mapped alongside the tracks of the Grand Trunk and Pennsylvania railroads. This era of Michigan's history is captured before major interstate expansion, showing the original rural roads and small-scale settlements like Scotts and Fulton in their mid-century configuration. The layout of school districts, from Bond Sch to Factoryville Sch, provides a clear view of the local social structure of the time.
