1981 Map of Northeast Albion

About this map

The village of Springport and the surrounding rural landscapes of Jackson and Calhoun counties are meticulously documented in this early 1980s record. This region is characterized by the intricate drainage of the North Branch Rice Creek and South Branch Rice Creek, punctuated by distinctive water bodies such as White Lake, Clark Lake, and the curiously named Lakes of the Gang. For genealogists and local historians, the map serves as an excellent guide to small settlements like Devereaux and Quakertown, alongside established burial grounds including Quakertown Cem and Perry-Graham Cem. The southern edge reveals the industrial and transportation hub of Albion, where the Conrail lines intersect the city's grid near the Armory and local High Sch. This survey also preserves the locations of mid-century cultural markers, including a Drive-in Theater and the Riske Landing Strip.
