1967 Map of Schoolcraft

About this map

The expansive Prairie Ronde terrain dominates this 1960s survey of the border between Kalamazoo and St. Joseph counties. The village of Schoolcraft sits at the northeastern corner, serving as a hub for the Penn Central railroad line. To the south and west, the landscape transitions into the Flowerfield area, characterized by the winding path of Flowerfield Creek and the Rocky River. Smaller rural settlements such as Edwards Corners, Chamberlain, and Howardsville are linked by a network of local roads including Hackenberg Road and Myers Road. Local history is preserved through landmarks like the Pleasant Valley Ch and the Upper Flatbush Cem, while the presence of a Grange Hall and multiple Gravel Pits reflects the agricultural and industrial activities of the era. The map also captures recreation and utility sites, from the Stiverville Golf Course to a remote Landing Strip near Pine Ridge.
