1972 Map of Smyrna

About this map

The Flat River winds through the borderlands of Ionia, Kent, and Montcalm counties, anchoring a landscape where agricultural history and waterway recreation meet. In the early 1970s, this area retained its rural character, notably preserved at Whites Bridge (Covered) and the sprawling Flat River State Game Area. The settlement of Smyrna sits at a junction of regional roads near the river, while the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad corridor tracks across the southern townships, passing the small clusters of Moseley and Alton.
