1965 Map of St. Johns North

About this map

St Johns stands as the primary hub of this 1965 survey, showcasing a dense grid of residential and municipal structures including the Courthouse, Waterworks, and East Ward Sch. Beyond the city limits, the landscape transitions into a well-defined agricultural grid across Greenbush and Bingham townships. A complex network of drainage features like Bennett Drain and Silvernail Drain signifies the intensive land management required for mid-century Michigan farming. To the north, the Maple River wanders through the Maple River State Game Area, providing a distinct natural break from the surrounding fields. Local history is preserved in rural landmarks such as Salem Ch, Greenbush Ch, and numerous family-named schoolhouses like Parker Sch and Sherwood Sch, alongside quiet resting places such as Union Home Cem and Prairie Cem.
