1945 Map of Allenton

About this map

Allenton and Berville anchor this agricultural landscape during the mid-1940s, situated where the borders of St. Clair, Lapeer, and Macomb counties converge. The terrain is defined by a dense network of country roads like Hough Rd and Capac Rd, which connected a series of one-room schoolhouses that served the farming families of the era. The presence of Lockbridge Sch, Gould Sch, and the Scotch Settlement Sch reveals a decentralized social structure centered on local education and worship, exemplified by the West Berlin Ch.
