2023 Map of Allenton

About this map

Allenton and Berville anchor this rural landscape in the early 2020s, situated at the intersection of St. Clair, Lapeer, and Macomb counties. The terrain is defined by a dense network of agricultural drainage and natural waterways, including the Belle River and the East Branch Coon Creek. This modern survey reveals the persistence of early settlement patterns, with numerous historic burial sites such as the Scotch Settlement Cem and West Berlin Cem still preserved amidst the gridded section lines. The village of Capac sits at the northern edge, bordered by the Capac Drain and Capac Cem, marking a transition from the agricultural heartland toward the Interstate corridor. Researchers can trace the sophisticated water management systems like McKay Ditch and Newland Drain that have long supported the region's farming economy.
