About this map

The confluence of the Grand River and the Thornapple River serves as a focal point for settlement and industry in this early twentieth-century survey of Kent and Ionia counties. The town of Lowell dominates the central landscape, positioned where the Grand Trunk railroad follows the river valley. Further west, Ada marks another significant river crossing, while the surrounding townships of Vergennes and Cascade are dotted with a high density of rural schoolhouses, such as McPherson School and Snow School, which indicate the established farming communities of the era.
