1957 Map of Traverse City

Along the western shore, the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad links coastal points such as Suttons Bay and Greilickville, while the interior of the Leelanau Peninsula reveals a rural network of schoolhouses and cemeteries. Genealogists can locate family sites including the Helmforth and Maple Grove cemeteries, or identify former education centers like the Lautner Sch and Stricker Sch. From the resort grounds at Fountain Point on Lake Leelanau to the Drive-in Theater in Acme, the map documents a mid-century period of transition between traditional lakeside agriculture and growing recreational tourism.
