1907 map There are a number of errors: #8 (Central Avenue School) is not shown on the map. It was in the vicinity of Central and Eight. #9 The map shows Coit School one block too far South. I have put the orange mark in the correct location. #18 1/2 (Lake School) is not shown on the map. Vicinity of School (Norwood) and Wealthy. (near Robinson and Lake Drive) #25 The key has it as Plainfield but the map has #26. #29 The key has it as Sigsbee but the map has #25 #32 on the key is Straight School but it shows as #53 on the map. I do not know the source of this map. See my Mea Culpa Primary vs. Secondary
I have inserted the earlier than 1850 locations of township schools that were within the Village of Grand Rapids on the 1907 map. 1. The second location for the Walker Twp school now St. Mary's Catholic Church. 2. The first location for the Walker Twp school. Near this location was the German School. 3. The first location for Grand Rapids Twp District #1 school.. Built in 1839 burned February 22, 1849.
The annexed township schools inserted onto the superimposed section lines on the 1907 map Orange = 1850 Blue = 1891
