About this map

The southeastern edge of Traverse City anchors this 1980s landscape, where urban infrastructure meets the dense lake country of Garfield and East Bay townships. Significant regional landmarks define the northern corridor, including the Cherry Capital Municipal Airport, the US Coast Guard Air Station, and Traverse City State Park fronting the East Arm Grand Traverse Bay. The mapping captures a critical period of development as commercial and residential roads like South Airport Road and Hammond Road intersect with the legacy of the Chesapeake and Ohio RR.

South of the city, the terrain transitions into a complex aquatic network centered around Lake Arbutus and the Boardman River valley. This area, largely within the Pere Marquette State Forest, is dotted with recreational and community sites such as Camp Arbutus, Victory Hill Ch, and Medalie Park. The map provides a precise record of rural schools like Cherry Knoll Sch and Vocational Sch before the further expansion of the Grand Traverse region.
