About this map

The Kalamazoo River anchors this mid-century portrait of industrial and residential growth in the neighboring communities of Otsego and Plainwell. The landscape is defined by its transition from agricultural townships like Otsego, Gun Plain, and Cooper to the busy corridor along the Penn Central railroad. Notable landmarks include the Powerhouse Dam and the Otsego-Plainwell Municipal Airport, while the urban centers show established local institutions such as St Margaret Sch and City Hall.

South of the Allegan Co Kalamazoo Co base line, the terrain softens into a lake district featuring Ruppert Lake, Murry Lake, and Barbour Lake. This area preserves several family and community landmarks, from Mountain Home Cem to the Green Bower Cem and the small settlement at Alamo. The 1973 revisions highlight evolving infrastructure, including the development of Miller Trailer Park and new church sites like Faith Ch.
