1957 Map of Maple City

About this map

Glen Lake and the deep indentation of Good Harbor Bay define the physical layout of this northern Michigan landscape during the mid-1950s. The map captures a transition in land use, where former agricultural centers like Maple City and Burdickville sit alongside developing recreational sites such as Camp Kohahna and Vacation Valley Camp. The persistence of local history is visible in the numerous rural cemeteries and parishes, including St Josephs Ch and St Josephs Cem, which anchored the inland communities of Cleveland and Kasson townships.
