1952 Map of Allenton

USGS Topo · Published 1953

About this map

Allenton serves as a central hub in this agricultural landscape of the early 1950s, situated at the crossroads of Almont Road and Capac Road. The map documents a well-distributed network of rural education and community life, featuring numerous one-room schoolhouses like Lockbridge Sch and Gould Sch, alongside local landmarks such as West Berlin Ch. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the Belle River in the north and the Coon Creek system to the south, which dictated the placement of early settlements and drainage works like the Newland Drain. Genealogists will find significant value in the clearly marked burial grounds, including the Scotch Settlement Cem and Rose Hill Cem, which anchor the histories of the various townships—Berlin, Mussey, and Bruce—that converge in this multi-county border region.
