1939 Map of Adair

About this map

The winding course of the Belle River defines the rural landscape of this 1930s survey along the Macomb and St. Clair County line. The era's educational network is remarkably dense, featuring neighborhood institutions like Pink Sch, East Sch, and Claggett Sch situated at nearly every major crossroads. The map documents the primary transportation artery of Gratiot Road, which cuts diagonally across the southern half of the quadrangle. In the village of Adair, the convergence of Adair Rd and Palms Rd serves as a local hub near the Western rail line. From the Town Hall in Columbus to the community of Muttonville, the map reveals a meticulously organized township system, where every mile is marked by established farmsteads and rural infrastructure such as the Columbus Cem and Kittridge Cem.
