About this map

Allenton serves as a central hub for this St. Clair County landscape, which is defined by its agricultural grid and the meandering path of the Belle River. This 2011 survey documents a region where tradition and modern infrastructure coexist, from the Allenton Post Office to the Berlin Oil Field located south of Hough Rd. The area is particularly rich in historical burial sites, including the Capac Cemetery, West Berlin Cemetery, and the Scotch Settlement Cemetery, each offering vital clues for local genealogical research.

Small communities like Berville and Lesterville are situated along the rural road network, while the Coon Creek and East Branch Coon Creek systems drain the fields toward the south. The intersection of local history and nature is evident at Almont Camp, positioned near the western edge of the quadrangle. This map provides a clear record of the region’s topography and land use just after the first decade of the 21st century.
