1967 Map of Portage
USGS Topo · Published 1974About this map
Kalamazoo and Portage showcase the rapid suburban expansion of south-central Michigan during the mid-1960s and early 1970s. The map illustrates a landscape transitioning from glacial lake basins and game areas to a structured network of residential streets and educational centers. Notable educational institutions like Hackett High School and Norrix High School appear alongside commercial hubs like the Southgate Shopping Center. The southern portion of the sheet remains dominated by significant water bodies, including Austin Lake and Long Lake, which served as focal points for both recreation at Ramona Park and local aviation at the Austin Lake Airport.
