About this map

The county seat of St Johns anchors this mid-century survey, revealing a well-organized agricultural landscape in central Michigan. The map captures the city's infrastructure at a point of modernization, featuring the waterworks, a radio tower, and the Mount Rest Cemetery. Just north of the urban center, leisure and utility intersect at a drive-in theater and the regional sewage disposal site.

Beyond the city, the landscape is defined by the survey townships of Bingham, Greenbush, and Bengal. Numerous rural institutions are preserved here, including the Salem Ch and several country schools like Sherwood Sch and Richmond Sch. The drainage of the area is meticulously documented through a network of creeks and man-made conduits, such as Hayworth Creek and Lowe Drain, supporting the surrounding farmstead economy. The northern reaches include the Eureka settlement and the southern edge of the Maple River State Game Area.
