1952 Map of Adair

About this map

Belle River meanders across this rural landscape, carving a valley through the eastern Michigan townships of Columbus and Casco. The 1952 culture revision reveals a countryside defined by small agricultural settlements and a dense network of country schools, such as Pink Sch and Bunker Sch. The road system is particularly notable, featuring the three-lane stretch of Gratiot Ave and the transition between Macomb Co and St Clair Co. A distinct shift in rural life is visible through the notation of inactive facilities like Hunt Sch (Aban'd) and Claggett Sch (Aban'd), while small community centers like Snyderville and Adair remain active. Local history is anchored by family-named landmarks and resting places including Columbus Cem and Kittridge Cem.
