About this map

The South Branch Kalamazoo River winds through the village of Homer, marking a landscape where early industry and agriculture met the water. This 1995 revision reveals a dense network of sectional roads like Twentyfour Mile Road and South Drive that define the rural townships of Eckford and Clarendon. Local history is anchored by several small country congregations and their burial grounds, including Cooks Prairie Ch and the East Eckford Cem.

In the northeast, Albion shows its development along the Kalamazoo River, featuring local landmarks like Dalrymple Sch and Riverside Cemetery. The presence of an Old RR Grade and the Mill Race in Homer point to the area's transition from a rail-and-mill economy to a modern residential and agricultural character. From the Midway Airport to the various gravel pits, the map documents the infrastructure of a maturing Michigan county.
