A township-by-township record of Montcalm County’s vanished and proposed communities
Dana Kenneth Johnson maps 56 Montcalm County sites identified as ghost towns, shadow towns, or paper towns. Organized by township, the book gathers historical context for places that range from abandoned settlements to communities that were proposed but never fully materialized. An alphabetical index adds a practical reference tool, making it easier to locate individual locales across the county. The focus stays tightly regional, offering a place-based look at how settlement plans, local development, and disappearance have shaped this corner of Michigan’s history.
Good fit for readers who enjoy
- Michigan local-history enthusiasts
- Readers interested in ghost towns and lost settlements
- Researchers seeking a township-organized Montcalm County reference
