2017 Map of Allenton

About this map

Capac and Allenton anchor this 2017 survey of the rural landscape where Lapeer, St. Clair, and Macomb counties meet. The area is defined by a systematic grid of section roads and drainage networks, such as the Capac Drain and Newland Drain, which support the productive agricultural fields of Mussey and Berlin Townships. The meandering path of the Belle River cuts across the northern half of the map, passing the small settlement of Lesterville before continuing southeast. For local historians, the placement of several community burial grounds, including East Berlin Cem and West Berlin Cem, offers a clear record of early regional settlement patterns and family heritage. The southern boundary is marked by Bordman Rd, separating the townships while connecting Allenton to the nearby village of Berville.
