Section 12 and part of Section 11.

This page erroneously shows the South Grand Rapids Improvement Company as all lying within the City of Grand Rapids.  That area west of Clyde Park was never in the City of Grand Rapids but is actually the City of Wyoming today. In the mid-1960's, US 131 would become an expressway.  The State government used its "police powers" to usurp City right-of-ways which still technically exist. This was a working class neighborhood surrounding factories and railroad yards.

Cutler is cut off from Alice, beyond factories,  to McKee for US131
Kirtland is cut off From St. Charles beyond factories to McKee for US131
