1917 Map of St. Charles
USGS Topo · Published 1917About this map
St Charles serves as the industrial and civic heart of this 1917 topographic study, where the No 3 Mine and the intersection of the Michigan Central RR and Pere Marquette RR indicate a landscape defined by coal and transit. The southern reaches of the map highlight the massive drainage and agricultural efforts of the Prairie Farm, supported by an intricate system of canals and a dedicated Pumping Station. These features illustrate the early 20th-century transformation of Michigan's wetlands into productive farmland and industrial centers.
