1957 Map of Maple City

About this map

Glen Lake and the coastal waters of Good Harbor Bay define this mid-century landscape of northern Michigan. The map captures a transition period for rural Leelanau County, where local community hubs like Maple City and Glen Arbor serve as anchors for the surrounding townships. Education is well-represented, showing the active Glen Lake High School contrasted with the North Unity Sch, which is explicitly marked as abandoned, suggesting shifting demographics and school consolidation in the late 1950s.
