About this map

Grand Rapids anchor the southwestern corner of this mid-century survey, which reveals the transition from urban industry to the vast woodlands and water systems of central Michigan. The map details the mid-1950s infrastructure of the region, including the critical energy landscapes of the Oil field and Gas field developments that defined local economies during this era. Transport networks are prominently featured, with the Grand Trunk Western and Chesapeake and Ohio rail lines threading through settlements like Greenville, Big Rapids, and Owosso.
