1949 Map of Spring Arbor

Genealogists and local researchers will find a dense network of one-room schoolhouses and small family-named cemeteries, including the Snyder Sch, Humphrey Sch, and Bayn Cem. The transition from Calhoun and Jackson counties into Hillsdale County reveals a pattern of dispersed homesteads and small-scale industry, such as the Gravel Pit near Mill Pond. This survey preserves the exact locations of many named landmarks like Stoney Point and Moscow Plains Ch that helped organize the community before modern highway expansion and school consolidation shifted the local geography.
