An 1847 plat map of Lansing, Michigan, oriented with north to the right, with the name of the city given as "the town of Michigan," prior to the Michigan Legislature's establishment of the city's name as "Lansing" in 1848. Many of the street names are still in use. The area at the left (south) labeled "Reserved for hydraulic and manufacturing purposes" would later be the site of the Grand River Assembly and the Lansing Board of Water & Light's Otto E.
