1945 Map of Ravenna

About this map

Coopersville and Ravenna serve as the primary hubs for this rural landscape in the mid-1940s, situated at the crossroads of extensive rail and road networks. The Grand Trunk and Pere Marquette railroads traverse the region, supporting a dense network of farming communities and crossroads settlements such as Conklin, Marne, and Casnovia. The map reveals a highly developed social infrastructure of the era, with dozens of rural schoolhouses like Hoogstraat Sch and Lillie Sch spaced systematically across the townships.
