About this map

The Grand River and Maple River converge in this mid-1970s landscape, shaping the industrial and social development of eastern Ionia County. The villages of Muir and Lyons sit at this river junction, where several gravel pits and the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad grade indicate a local economy tied to both resource extraction and transportation. To the south, the city of Portland is centered near the Portland Municipal Dam, which along with Webber Dam and Wagar Dam, demonstrates the extensive hydroelectric and water management infrastructure of the era.
