1981 Map of Stockport

About this map

The town of Stockport serves as the primary hub in this corner of Van Buren County, where the agricultural landscape is carved by a network of winding waterways. In the early 1980s, the remnants of former transportation and industry are visible, most notably the Old Railroad Grade passing through McVeigh. To the south, extractive activity is documented at a Strip Mine near Harrisburg Townhall, contrasting with the quiet rural character of nearby Pierceville and Utica. Genealogists and local historians can locate several family and community landmarks, including Dibble Cem, Vale Cem, and Big Cedar Ch. The terrain is defined by the drainage patterns of Little Cedar Creek, Honey Creek, and Rock Creek, which dictate the placement of farms and small settlements across Union, Cedar, and Washington townships.
