About this map

Spring Arbor and the surrounding township appear here in the late 1970s, characterized by a mix of educational institutions and rural landscapes. The map detail highlights Western High Sch and Bean Sch, alongside community focal points like The Kings Chapel and Spring Arbor Cem. To the south, the settlement of Horton sits near the winding course of the North Branch Kalamazoo River.

The presence of several Gravel Pits and scattered Oil Wells across the townships of Pulaski and Hanover reflects the local resource extraction of the era. Water features such as Lime Lake, Cross Lake, and the Spring Arbor Lakes punctuate the glacial terrain. Transportation is dominated by the Conrail rail line, which cuts diagonally across the landscape, linking these small Jackson County communities to the wider regional rail network.
