1967 Map of Otsego
USGS Topo · Published 1974About this map
The Kalamazoo River winds through the heart of this mid-century landscape, linking the industrial centers of Otsego and Plainwell. The map illustrates a period of expansion where established town grids meet newer infrastructure, including the Otsego-Plainwell Municipal Airport and the Penn Central rail line. Beyond the urban centers, the terrain transitions into the Gun Plain, a region characterized by numerous small lakes such as Ruppert Lake and Hipps Lake, and a network of rural avenues. Genealogical interest is high here, with several well-marked burial grounds including Mountain Home Cem, St Margaret Cem, and Woodside Cem. The presence of several Gravel Pits and industrial landmarks like the Otsego Dam and Powerhouse reflects the economic reliance on both the river and local mineral extraction during the late 1960s.
